HATRIQA Launches English 90 Self Study Workbook
The perfect companion for independent learning English through football
Self-directed learning has never been more engaging. HATRIQA's new English 90 Self Study Workbook is the perfect companion to the English 90 Beginner textbook, providing learners with an opportunity to work at their own pace whilst exploring their favourite sport in English. This innovative workbook transforms independent study into an exploration of football culture rather than traditional language learning.
Designed to review and consolidate textbook content through carefully crafted exercises, the Self Study Workbook ensures that learners can continue their English journey independently, maintaining their enthusiasm for both language learning and the beautiful game.
Targeted practice aligned with textbook learning
The Self Study Workbook features targeted exercises aligned with each unit of the English 90 Beginner textbook, creating a seamless learning experience that reinforces classroom or self-study progress. Each section introduces new vocabulary through authentic football contexts, providing learners with expanded opportunities to engage with the language naturally.
Key features include:
Unit-by-unit alignment: Perfect synchronisation with the English 90 Beginner textbook structure
Football-contextualised vocabulary: New words and phrases introduced through genuine football scenarios
Additional reading practice: Extended texts that deepen understanding whilst maintaining engagement
Progress reflection: End-of-unit activities that help learners assess their development and set goals
Learning that feels like exploration
Rather than traditional drill-based exercises, the Self Study Workbook creates learning experiences that feel more like exploring football culture than conventional language study. This approach maintains learner motivation whilst ensuring systematic progress through essential English skills.
The workbook extends knowledge whilst preserving the enthusiasm that makes the English 90 series so effective. Students find themselves naturally absorbed in football-related content whilst unconsciously reinforcing their language skills through meaningful practice.
Supporting confident everyday communication
Like the main textbook, the Self Study Workbook focuses on practical communication skills that learners need for everyday situations. Through football-themed activities, students continue developing their ability to:
Introduce themselves with confidence
Engage in natural small talk
Navigate shopping experiences successfully
Discuss their favourite football teams, players and matches with enthusiasm
This dual focus ensures that learners gain both general English proficiency and the specific vocabulary needed to discuss their passion for football.
Independent learning with expert guidance
Created by the same award-winning team from University College London, the Self Study Workbook maintains the pedagogical excellence that characterises the English 90 series. Authors Mark Bailey and Andrew Talbot have designed activities that guide independent learners effectively, providing the structure and support needed for successful self-directed study.
The workbook recognises that different learners have different schedules and learning preferences. By providing flexible, self-paced activities that complement the main textbook, it ensures that every student can progress confidently regardless of their individual circumstances.
Extending the English 90 experience
The Self Study Workbook represents HATRIQA's commitment to supporting learners beyond the classroom. Whilst the English 90 Beginner textbook provides structured lessons and activities, the workbook extends this learning into independent practice that feels natural and enjoyable.
This combination of textbook and workbook creates a comprehensive learning ecosystem where students can build confidence systematically whilst exploring their passion for football in English. The motivating power of football transforms what could be routine practice into engaging cultural exploration.
Perfect for flexible learning
Whether used alongside classroom instruction or for completely independent study, the English 90 Self Study Workbook adapts to different learning environments and schedules. Students can work through activities at their own pace, revisiting challenging areas and accelerating through familiar content as needed.
The workbook's design recognises that effective language learning requires both structured instruction and independent practice. By providing high-quality self-study materials that maintain the engaging football focus, HATRIQA ensures that learning continues beyond formal lessons.
Available now to complement your English 90 Beginner textbook, the Self Study Workbook helps new learners quickly develop confidence whilst mastering the essentials of English communication through the universal appeal of football.
