EAL Is Not Enough If the School Paper Repeats the Same Fault

International-school EAL still needs extra English only after the same school-paper fault repeats. One revision comment is a wait. A neighbour's tutor is not the test. Extra English must use the school's paper, not a generic grammar booklet.

EAL existing is not a closed case

EAL is school support. It does not erase a paper comment that repeats after a term.

Parents often treat the EAL timetable as the whole English plan. The timetable proves the school is helping. It does not prove the last history essay or English paper stopped repeating the same fault. Do not invent a standard EAL hour-count. Schools differ. Tonight uses the paper in the bag, not a promised number of pull-out hours.

Wait one paper, add after the same fault repeats

Wait if the last paper named a new, smaller fault. Add extra English if two papers name the same writing or reading fault while EAL is running.

• Wait: the newest paper names a different, smaller fault than the paper before it.
• Add: two papers, while EAL is running, name the same writing or reading fault.
• Do not add because a neighbour's child has a tutor.
• Do not add from playground silence alone. That note belongs to the school EAL team.

The newcomer ESL-or-tuition page decides at arrival. Tonight assumes EAL is already running. Arrival and “still not enough” are different nights.

Extra English must match the school paper

The outside hour must use the school's task: IGCSE, IB, or the school's own paper. A generic grammar booklet is the wrong extra.

• Bring the two papers that named the same fault.
• Ask the outside teacher to mark that task, not a bought workbook chapter.
• Refuse a generic grammar booklet that never opens the school paper.
• Confirm whether the school uses IGCSE, IB, or its own paper before you book.

iWorld Learning's High School IGCSE / IB Preparation page supports academic English and exam tasks. Confirm live terms and the school's syllabus. It is adjacent support. It is not the school's EAL team and it is not a guaranteed grade.

This is not the newcomer ESL-or-tuition page

No. That page chooses EAL versus local-school tuition at arrival. Tonight assumes EAL is already running.

Confirm the school's current EAL note before you add an outside hour. Confirm live course terms if you later compare academic English support.

FAQ

Silent playground English is not the same as a paper fault.

My child is quiet at playtime. Is that enough to add extra English?

No. Tonight uses a repeated school-paper fault. Playground silence is a different note for the school EAL team.

Can a generic grammar class be the extra English?

No. Extra English must use the school's paper task. A generic booklet is the wrong extra.
