Extra material
Absolutely — you’re right 👍
What you have now is excellent content, but as a student-facing workbook it currently represents about 2–2.5 hours per day, not a full 5-hour day.
Below is a clear, practical expansion that keeps your existing workbook intact and adds enough structured student work to reach 5 hours per day, without feeling like filler.
I’ll do this in a way that:
✅ Keeps ESOL students engaged

🔧 HOW WE’LL FIX IT (BIG PICTURE)
Each 5-hour day should include:
Component Time
Speaking warm-up & review 30 min
Core reading / writing task 60 min
Vocabulary + grammar practice 45 min
Integrated speaking task 45 min
Project / extended task 60 min
Reflection + consolidation 30 min
Total 5 hours
Your workbook already covers the core tasks.
What it’s missing are:
Extended practice pages
Scaffolded speaking planners
Vocabulary recycling
Independent + pair work
Reflection pages
