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.

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.

A powerpoint of all the common English very forms. Each page shows how to form that particular tense. Good as a prompt for EAL classes, I laminated them and the pupils have them on their desk to help structure their sentences.
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.
About the writer
Our EAL toolkit was written by Anna Czebiolko, currently a secondary head of EAL. Since starting to work with EAL learners in 2009, she has worked with children in every year group from nursery to sixth form. She also has experience of coordinating EAL provision in a large secondary academy.
This resource is aimed at a child who has recently arrived in England and who has English as an Additional Language.
This resource consists of three documents which make up 16 A4 pages.
1. Based around recognising and learning the written words for numbers 1-20 and some vocab for division, multiplication, addition and subtraction. It progresses from a word bank, match up games with a challenge question and then an activity based on using their new English skills to help complete equations.
2. Based around recognising and learning the written words for numbers 1-100 using some match up activities and some fill in the gap vocabulary activities. Numbers are chosen carefully to help children distinguish between 'ty' and 'teen'.
3. Based around learning vocabulary for place value. This resource includes numbers up to one million and up to with three decimal places. The activities gradually build up to make the new vocabulary manageable. Offers lots of opportunities for practice. I recommend this resource is used with close adult support to focus on how to say the numbers and in which order.
Titles and key vocabulary are translated into arabic (using Google translate) but you could delete this and replace with another language easily.
