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.

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) Body parts Head / Face Clothes Household objects School Shapes Action words Domestic Animals Weather words Food - Basics Food - Fruit Food - Vegetables Fast food Wild Animals Gardening Positional Words Days of the week Times of the day Months of the year Professions / Jobs
