Love this website. It really helps my child to put into perspective what he is learning at school. It also helps him to prepare for his exams at the end of the term or year.

About the English as an Additional Language (EAL) for Ages 11-16 - Workbook 1 (to English)

If your child is learning English as an additional language in secondary school, you want resources that build confidence quickly and support them at every step. English as an Additional Language (EAL) for Ages 11-16 - Workbook 1 (to English) is designed specifically for Years 7–11 students (ages 11–16) who are new to English and need structured, engaging practice across vocabulary, grammar, reading, writing, and comprehension. This CGP workbook provides a clear, full-colour pathway that helps your child settle into UK classrooms and keep pace with the English National Curriculum from the very start.

This 64-page workbook covers essential everyday topics—transport, emotions, school subjects, food preferences, and more—through practical exercises that develop listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills together. Each section includes QR codes that link to free audio tracks, so your child hears correct pronunciation and practises alongside native speakers at home. Full answers are included at the back, giving you both immediate feedback and the confidence to support independent learning. It's aimed at students at DfE English proficiency level 'A', making it ideal for beginners who need a solid foundation before progressing further.

Students match food to likes and dislikes, then write sentences using 'I like' and 'I don't like' with adjectives

With regular practice, your child will move from hesitant phrases to confident sentences, gaining the language skills they need to participate fully in lessons, make friends, and feel at home in their new school environment. The colourful layout and interactive approach keep learning engaging, while the structured progression ensures steady improvement across all four language skills. Whether used in the classroom or at home, this workbook transforms the challenge of learning English into achievable, daily progress that builds both fluency and self-assurance.
