From handbook guidance to classroom practice
Six connected lessons and 24 original skill routines for secondary EAL teaching. Each has a completed visual model, teacher prompts, adaptations and an independent check.
Cambridge’s TKT handbooks provide teacher-development and CLIL guidance; the Bell Foundation source is explicitly EAL-focused. These classroom applications are newly authored and linked to the relevant guidance, rather than reproduced handbook tasks.
