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.

Teachit
Most of the resources in the ESOL collection are suitable for adult learners at pre-Entry and Entry 1 as they tend to focus on basic literacy, phonics and simple everyday words and expressions. However, there are also resources for learners through to Level 3, including activities suitable for preparing for Skills for Life exams.Downloadable free PDFs. All the resources selected here avoid topics that would be inappropriate because of learners’ domestic and financial situations or that could cause distress to immigrants who have lived through traumatic events.
