EAL Vocabulary helps children with very little English to increase their vocabulary and to learn the basic words they need in their everyday lives. The themes covered are clothes, mealtimes and things in the classroom. The words used are those suggested to us by EAL and EFL teachers. In addition to the worksheets, there are a number of coloured game sheets which can be used for many language games. Previously available through Easylearn.
This pack contains a selection of EAL resources suitable for newly arrived KS1 and KS2 pupils with little or no English. The focus for this pack is to help EAL beginners to learn key vocabulary associated with school. The pack almost 50 worksheets with activities linked to more than 60 words. Activities include:
Handwriting
Drawing
Matching pictures and words
Multiple choice
Simple sentence work
The pack also contains a pupil information sheet, a phonics check sheet, pictures of all the referenced vocabulary (which could be enlarged and made into flashcards) and an assessment sheet to help monitor pupil’s understanding. The pack is designed to be used flexibly. Teachers can select worksheets as needed to support EAL lessons. Alternatively, teachers could combine all the sheets in the pack to create a workbook of materials which would allow newly arrived EAL learners to work fairly independently with some teacher support and guidance.
The booklet features practice in the following areas:
Parts of speech (Word Classes)
Spelling
Vocabulary
Punctuation
Paragraphing/ Grammar
Synonyms and Antonyms
Comprehension
Descriptive writing
Language devices
Non-fiction writing
Skimming and Scanning
Inferencing
A fully editable 9-page EAL screening form.
The aim of this screening form is to establish a student’s basic English language proficiency; to identify a student who requires EAL, EFL, ESL support and to identify topic areas a student may need to develop.
Before carrying out the screening form, it is helpful to say to the child, ‘During the task, I will circle some areas that you find a bit tricky. This is to help me know which areas I need to focus on in class so that I can make your English even better!’ By saying this, the student will be reassured from the start.
.
The following 23 topic areas are assessed:
Colours
Numbers (0 - 9)
Numbers (10 – 20)

The Main Principles of EAL Teaching - English as an Additional Language - Humanities - Geography
This document was created off the back of research I conducted on how best to enable EAL learners to progress in a literacy classroom (with a focus on Humanities/Geography). Designed while working at a school in West London that displayed over 80 languages spoken an over 90% EAL learners, it contains a mixture of easy wins and more structured classroom approaches.
Happy to answer any questions and any feedback welcome…

Our EAL toolkit is designed for teachers and teaching assistants who don’t have a background in teaching English as an additional language to support EAL students in mainstream classrooms at key stage 3 and key stage 4.
What’s included?
The 74-page toolkit includes:
general classroom strategies to support EAL learners
an outline of the challenges faced by international new arrivals
fun and engaging EAL teaching ideas
EAL activities for new arrivals who are total beginners
printable EAL support resources and EAL displays for classrooms
a CPD PowerPoint for staff training and meetings
a glossary of English language teaching terminology
a list of EAL websites for teachers with links to EAL assessment materials.
This EAL toolkit will be invaluable for subject teachers, form tutors, heads of year and SENCos who wish to develop their understanding of the learning approaches you can use to support EAL pupils.
How does it support EAL learners?
The toolkit recommends general classroom strategies to support EAL learners, such as setting up a buddy system with a student who speaks the same home language. It also includes fun and engaging EAL teaching ideas, such as games, songs and role-plays, helping EAL students to feel less anxious about taking part in whole-class activities. It suggests EAL activities for new arrivals who are total beginners, such as labelling images and diagrams, and for those who have a more advanced level, such as adding complexity to sentences.
It includes printable EAL classroom resources, such as an alphabet letters mat, phonics mats, word mats, flashcards, sentence builders and writing frames that can also be used as templates for you to make your own, along with printable EAL support resources that could also be used as EAL displays for classrooms, such as an irregular verbs list, a tenses table, a list of easily confused words or homophones, a list of prefixes and suffixes and a list of common verbs used in academic writing.
It demonstrates how to adapt worksheets for EAL learners in order to support them with both language development and subject knowledge. It offers advice on how to pre-teach vocabulary before a reading or listening activity and how to help students who are learning English as an additional language identify key words and learn new vocabulary from a reading or listening text.
