As this is designed and written exclusively for EAL students all aspects of this work is of tremendous use to the student. Using English in the Classroom will make language acquisition an enjoyable process for the EAL student. This resource satisfies many requirements of contemporary pedagogy. Assessment for Learning (AFL) is abundantly evident in English in the Classroom as at the end of each unit the student can record the progress they have made by completing the user friendly self assessment sheet.

The Bloom’s Taxonomy framework for learning is evident in English in the Classroom. Beginning with first principles and gradually introducing high order thinking skills ensures that the EAL student will develop an effective understanding of English. PLTS (Personal Learning and Thinking Skills) are also introduced in this resource which makes it valuable to the school where EAL students are taught.
