Reading in EAL

Last month, the EAL department launched a new reading scheme designed specifically for language learners. Our new range of books are diverse in subjects, engaging and informative, and aligned to second language development. Each book contains a picture dictionary or glossary to help support meaning, and activities to develop comprehension skills.

We are very impressed with how enthusiastic our students have been about taking books home and reading.

Below, you can see what some students have enjoyed about their new reading books:
