Resources Hub

The Resource Hub is a collection of website links, documents, videos and audios for ESOL teachers. Whilst many are specifically ESOL resources, we’ve also included those that may be useful in a general ESOL context. We are currently building this comprehensive resource and will be adding regional and local materials. Do you have a resource to share? We encourage you to contact us if you want us to consider your resource for inclusion in the Resource Hub. We also welcome general suggestions for improvement. We hope you find this page useful and discover something new to enhance your teaching, fully unlocking the potential of your ESOL provision.
As well as collecting and presenting resources created by many providers and other agencies, MESH has an ever-expanding pool of resources created by our own qualified teaching team, covering a variety of useful topics such as using Council services, accessing the NHS, and volunteering. Our resources include presentation slides, film, audio, activities and associated teacher notes. Follow the link here to visit the MESH resource collection.

    Modern Day Slavery Awareness Film
    The Leeds City Council Migration team worked in partnership with the Leeds City Council Safeguarding and Domestic Violence team, Hope for Justice (a charity working with victims of modern slavery) and West Yorkshire Police to create a film that raises awareness of modern slavery. These films can be used in ESOL classes – please share if you create further resources to use with them.
