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

The media could not be loaded. I believe this book is interesting for any age, has a great value for money and it’s easy to understand. I purchased it for myself because I wanted something that explained in detail to better understand the English language.It comes with QR code in the lessons which is very interesting because we have the opportunity to listen too to improve even more. To access it is easy, you just need to follow the instructions that are in the boxes on the side with the arrow pointing to the QR Code.Note: I highly recommend this.

This is the second workbook I received for my granddaughter who is half Dutch and lives in Holland.She is doing very well in English in school and I felt these books may help her .Her pronunciation is very good but for those just learning the language the use of QR codes on various sections linking to spoken examples would be very useful .Some of the topics in the second book include :Section 1 - Nouns and PunctuationCapital Letters and Describing People..........Learning when to use capital letters, practising describing yourselfSection 1 Countable and Uncountable nounsSection 2-VerbsAt the Weekend.........Asking and answering questions that use 'did' and 'didn't, using the simple past tenseLearning how to give instructions and commands;Sports.....Making sentences describing how often and where you do an activity.Making sentences that use the present progressive, practising adding "ing" to verbsIn the Holidays......Making sentences that use 'going to to talk about the future,Section 3-Adjectives and AdverbsAnimals........Learning the order in which adjectives appear before nouns, describing animalsWriting sentences using adverbs and fronted adverbials, learning spelling rulesTransportLearning how to describe nouns with comparatives (eg bigger than) and super...Section 4-Reading ComprehensionMy School DayPractising and developing reading comprehension skills,Section 5-Maths LanguageNumbers 30-100Answers to question in each section are at the back of the book.

This is the second workbook in a series, aimed at teenage students who are new to the English language. The main focus is on the use of verbs. The book also covers important common themes such as numbers and money. Exercises include QR codes, which link to audio content. There are answers to all the problems at the back of the book, so students can complete the whole workbook on their own. My students found the book helpful and straightforward to use. Good value for money.

First, you need to understand that these books are a useful support and addition to tuition or a proper course of study, NOT a replacement. Make no mistake.However, once you understand that, it is a useful tool. This is the second in the series, so you definitely need to get the first one BEFORE you use this. This time,you get sections on word order, more verbs, possessives and prepositions and comprehension. You get specific language help for history, geography, music and the individual sciences. It progresses and deepens the learning from the previous book. This is a well designed and thought out course- it builds from book to book.It is a phonics based programme, so the SOUND of words is clearly essential. The clever thing is that this book includes free online audio, which is absolutely essential.Worth every penny ! If used properly.N.B. the book itself states ,students will need help reading the instructions. Don't just give this book to the child. They will really struggle. But working with them,it will be really useful.

easy to read and well written

This is book is designed for 11-16 years old who are new to English, but I find it also a great workbook for an adult immigrant to learn English. It covers listening, speaking, reading and writing skills. Its step by step structure can guide the student through scaffolded activities which allow the student to learn the contents of each topic in a fun and engaging way. Most of the topics in the book such as weekend activities, sports, holidays, animals, transport, shopping, etc are used in everyday’s life. The grammar knowledge about punctuation, nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, are particularly useful for improving writing skills.It’s a high quality book. Carefully written, immaculately presented and funny. In fact, my daiughter had been using GCP workbooks through her primary school for maths and English. Those books helped her building solid academic foundation for her secondary school.

The book is wet and not usable.

The media could not be loaded. This is a good book that is written well and helps you to learn English and is good and intuitive so it is an easy recommendation for someone learning English as a second language.
