About the English as an Additional Language (EAL) for Ages 11-16 - Workbook 2 (Early Acquisition)

If your child is in Years 7–11 and learning English as an additional language, English as an Additional Language (EAL) for Ages 11-16 – Workbook 2 (Early Acquisition) gives them the steady, focused practice they need to build confidence in reading, writing, grammar, and vocabulary. Designed for pupils at the early-acquisition stage, this CGP workbook links every activity to the English National Curriculum, so you know your child is working towards the same standards as their classmates whilst developing the language skills that matter most.

Students listen to audio, underline sentences, and write their own sentences using verbs with -ing endings

Each section tackles a key skill—spelling, punctuation, comprehension, or vocabulary—through carefully structured exercises that introduce new language in context, reinforce it with clear examples, and give your child the chance to apply it independently. The workbook also includes a separate answer section so you can check progress at home, spot any gaps, and celebrate improvements without waiting for teacher feedback. Whether your child is catching up or consolidating, the layout is clear, the instructions are straightforward, and the activities are designed to be completed without constant adult support.

Clear rules and examples for forming present progressive sentences, using sports vocabulary and simple diagrams

Over time, your child will move from recognising new words to using them accurately in sentences, paragraphs, and longer pieces of writing. They'll practise asking and answering questions, describing people and places, and navigating the grammar rules that underpin fluent English. Because the workbook is tailored to the 11–16 age range, the topics and contexts feel relevant—school life, hobbies, everyday routines—helping your child see the direct connection between what they're learning and the conversations, lessons, and assessments they encounter every day. The result is a learner who feels more prepared, more independent, and ready to tackle secondary-school English with growing confidence.

This workbook suits any Year 7–11 pupil who is at the early stage of acquiring English, whether they've recently arrived in the UK or need extra support to bridge the gap between everyday conversation and academic language. It's a single, physical book that ships to your door, and because it's published by CGP—a name trusted by teachers and parents alike—you can be confident the content is accurate, age-appropriate, and aligned with what schools expect. Use it alongside classroom teaching, for homework, or during the holidays to keep skills sharp and momentum strong.
