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.

Gothic vocabulary - In Gothic writing vocabulary can be quite tricky, but this lesson supports students in improving their use of vocabulary when creating narrative pieces. Students are provided with detailed lists of synonyms for adjectives, verbs and adverbs, all with a Gothic-style focus. Students use these lists to reflect on previous pieces of writing and make changes. A useful lesson for both KS3 and KS4 students, including those working on texts such as Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.
