INTRODUCTION
Teaching and learning refers to a process which comprises of varied variables that aid
learners in working towards their desired objectives as well as incorporate new knowledge in
order to add value to learning experiences (Ahmadi and Reza, 2018). Teaching is a practice
which aids in imparting knowledge as well as information to learners whereas learning helps in
receiving the processed data in a strategic manner. Learning methods comprises of visual,
auditory, kinaesthetic and reading which help learners to enhance their experience as per their
capabilities. Role of resources in regards with teaching as well as learning is to provide an
assistance which aid in interacting among teachers and students. It is imperative for teachers to
make differentiation in their content which allows them to provide appropriate learning styles of
learners for improvising their experiences.
This project report demonstrates an understanding of purpose and use of resources in
regards with teaching. It also highlights the abilities which help to develop and use inclusive
resources in chosen specialist area. It also depicts an understanding on how to organise and
enable access to resources. It also covers legal requirements as well as responsibilities in relation
to using and developing the resources in an effective manner.
TASK A: RESOURCE REPORT
1.1: Explanation of the purpose of resources in teaching and learning
Resources are particularly designed to support teachers as well as professors for planning
and delivering a lesson in an effective manner (Ali and Mehreen, 2018). Purpose of resources in
relation to teaching and learning not only aid in making educational procedures attractive but
also inspires learners to enhance their learning experience. Teaching resources essentially
encompasses of text books, role plays, multimedia, pictures and many more elements which aid
learners in enhancing their learning experience. Teaching resources which can be used by
teachers in specialist area of English are webinars, Cambridge sessions, practising
comprehension and many more. Purpose of this resources is to motivate learners to engage
themselves in their studies which aid them in securing good marks. These resources also plays a
significant role in building up the learning practices effective. It is imperative for teachers to use
appropriate resources in the field of specialisation of English. There are varied virtual resources
which are presented for specialist area of English such as distance learning, The EduBlogger,
1

Teachie Teacher and many more which are used by teachers for enhancing learning experiences
of their students. Purpose of learning resources in respect to teaching English is considered as
relevant for teachers as well as students as it provides relevant and valuable information in
context to differential topics. These resources encompasses of whiteboards, Powerpoint
projectors, flipcharts and many more whose purpose is to provide a valuable information to
students in an effective manner.
1.2: Evaluation of the effectiveness in regards with specific resource in meeting learning needs
of an individual
It is imperative for teachers to understand that all learners are different and have
differential learning capabilities. It is important for teachers to evaluate the effectiveness of
specified resources for each type of learners for attaining quality, developing talent, creating
interest and planning the classroom activities in a strategic manner (Alkamel and Chouthaiwale,
2018). It is desirable for teachers to use virtual and audio resources for their students as per their
learning capabilities. Students can be asked to practice writing and reading English who have
issues regarding using the virtual methods. Charts and visuals are used for those type of learners
who can learn through aid of visuals. Role plays and reading experiments can be used for those
learners whose learning style is concerned with kinaesthetic. Lectures can be given by teachers
to students as per their learning capabilities. Needs of students changed on a constant basis which
is needed to be critically evaluated by teachers to plan delivery of lessons in a strategic manner.
Individual learning needs should be assessed at the time of planning of lessons in order to
enhance their experience. Teachers are expected to assess the effectiveness of their planned
sources in accordance with learning capabilities of their students in an effective manner. For
assessing this, they need to evaluate the benefits and limitations of each source that they have
used such as charts, visual boards, role plays and many more.
2.1: An analysis of principles in relation to resource design
Resource design can be described as a practice which aid teachers to build experiences as
well as study material in order to enhance learning experience of their students in a strategic
manner (Anthony, 2018). It is imperative for teachers to design and choose their resources
efficiently in order to satisfy differential needs of their learners. Principles in regards with
resource design which needs to be considered by teachers are as follows:
2

Stimulus of learning- Learning resources for English should provide motivation and new
ideas as well as information to students which led them to learn in an effective and fast manner.
In order to make learning material attractive, it ought to have interesting text as well as fun
activities which principally indulges a learner in enhancing their existing knowledge and
competencies. Stimuli are considered as vital as it encompasses of those material which can
evoke reaction from respondents in regards with a particular study. In relation to specialist area
of English, this stimulus considered as resources which are used by teachers for evoking the
response of students towards them in an effective manner.
Principle of sequencing- It is imperative for teachers to design their resources in the
presentation as well as sequential format. Resources should be designed in such a manner
through which complex mass of language can be learnt in an effective manner. Sequential
learning help teachers in planning their lessons in an effective manner. Under this principle,
enormous focus is put on materials whereby resources are arranged for creating systematic flow
of content which makes the learning process effective and easy.
Principle of linkage- As per this principle, teachers are asked to link their content with
preferred learning styles of students in an effective manner. It is imperative for teachers to
analyse the learning capabilities of their students before designing sources or lessons for them.
This practice help them to meet the requirements of learning of students.
2.2: Ascertaining the sources for their resource development
Resource development can be described as a practice which provides mechanism in order
to support coordinates and integrated access in regards with quality resources (Boivin and et.al
2018). In context to English, there are varied sources in relation with resource development are
as follows:
Handbooks can be used by teachers for developing their source in a strategic manner
which aid them in make effective modifications in learning experiences of learners.
Online and virtual content can also be used by teachers for developing the source in an
strategic manner. It can be accessed in an easy and faster manner which also help them to gain
insights regarding varied types of learning abilities as well as desires of individuals.
Use of journals and online webinars can also help students in enhance their learning
capabilities in a specified manner. Through webinars, expert knowledge of differential writers
3

can be provided to students which help them to learn in an effective manner. With the use of
journals, teachers can enhance knowledge of their students through providing them interesting
case studies.
2.3: Analysis of theories, principles and models which can be used to inform resource
development
Inclusive curriculum can be understood as a provision which provides equal opportunities
to all learners irrespective of their differential learning capabilities (Ehsan, Vida and Mehdi,
2019). Curriculum models provides an effective structure to teachers for map out the rationale of
using particular approaches in relation with learning and assessment. In order to access processes
in relation with specialist area of English are as follows:
Product model- It is considered as traditional as well as historically tested model which
aid teachers in developing curriculum in an effective manner. It majorly emphasises on plans as
well as intentions which need to be taken care of while developing sources. Through this,
teachers can developed their sources in regards with preparation of workshops and seminars for
English in a strategic manner.
Process model- It majorly emphasizes activities as well as efforts which is used in
classroom teaching by teachers in a strategic manner. Process model essentially prioritize active
learning as well as discussions in response to individual needs. Basic idea of this model is to
provide an excellent learning experience by indulging them in varied activities as well as
discussions. This can be helpful for teachers while preparing curriculum for English as through
this they can plan interesting study materials for them.
Neuro-linguistic approach- It can help teachers in analysing varied strategies for
reaching a desired objective. It majorly encompasses of modelling, action as well as effective
communication which translates that interaction practices work well in accomplishing tasks.
Through this, teachers can formulate strategies which best suits their sources prepared for
learners.
2.4: Evaluation of the ways in which resources can be adapted for enabling an inclusive approach
It is imperative for teachers to critically evaluate the ways through which they can adapt
resources for enhancing the learning experiences of their students. They ought to be digital savvy
and adopt practices in relation to provide virtual aids to their students. With the help of visual
4

learning, teaching experiences can be enhanced in a significant manner. They can also use power
point as an effective way for developing their sources. Apart from these, they are varied
softwares that can be used by teachers for making learner experience excellent. Teachers can
also take aid of SMOG test which is undertaken for testing capabilities regarding reading the
English text by students.
TASK B: INFORMATION BOOKLET
3.1: Explanation of ways in which resources can be classified as well as stored
Resources should be classified as well as stored in an effective manner which led teachers
and learners to use them in an effective manner. These should be stored in such a manner which
supports learning capabilities of differential learners. Resources in regards with specialist area of
English can be stored and classified in following manner:
Traditional or physical ways- Through this, sources like text books, notes and other
hand-written elements can be stored in a physical manner. It covers huge space as these elements
are hand-written and can be accessed by teachers by visiting the place of storing them.
Virtual ways- This would help teachers in storing the study materials and even download
that on an instant basis from internet (Fang and Ren, 2018). It does not require huge space for
storing the information and it can been assessed from anywhere. These resources in relevance
with English can be webinars and online sessions which aid learners in enhancing their
experiences. Access of this can be protected through password generated system.
3.2: Reviewing the ways in regards with sharing resources with other learning professionals
There are differential ways through which resources can be shared in an effective
manner. It is imperative for teachers to review the ways on a constant basis which are undertaken
for resources sharing. Varied ways through which resources can be shared to other professionals
are as follows:
Resources can be shared to learners and other professionals in a localised manner. These
can be shared in a physical manner through exchanging of notes and other hand-written
elements.
These resources can be delivered through online channels which majorly consists of e-
mail and other related platforms. It can also get delivered by using virtual learning platform
whereby these ought to be stored on internet in order to access them in a viable as well as fast
5

manner (Hafner and Miller, 2018). These can be shared by using networking events which is
considered as a best practice for sought varied sources at a time.
4.1: Reviewing legal requirements as well as responsibilities in regards with development and
use of resources
In order to develop, protect and use varied resources, teachers have to follow certain rules
and legal obligations for providing a better experience to their learners in an effective manner
(Kruk and et.al, 2018). Varied legal requirements as well as responsibilities for developing and
using the resources in relevance with specialist area of English are as follows:
General data protection act- It is the legislation which safeguards information as well as
data from stealing and complexities in a strategic manner. It essentially monitors and protect the
personal data and resources which can aid teachers in enhancing learner's experiences.
In relevance with legal requirements and responsibilities, English language requirement
is ascertained which ensures that a citizen have an ability to speak the language for the practice
of immigration. It is imperative for teachers to take care of copyright in order to protect their
resource in an effective manner. Purpose of this act is to create a control over the workings
which are prepared by teachers in a strategic manner. There should be strict restriction on
copying the copyrighted study material.
4.2: Analysing the implications of intellectual property rights as well as copyrights for
developing and using resources
Intellectual property rights are concerned with protecting intangible assets of a creator in
relation to any innovative practice (Liu, Li and Yang, 2018). It is imperative for teachers and
learners to make appropriate compliance with the legislations in relation to work of other people
or authors. They have access to use it but do not have rights to publish it by their name.
Compliance with legislations is considered as important aspect while preparing the source as this
can poses issues of copyright infringement. It is desirable to not to use any copyrighted materials
which access is not with learners.

TASK C: Portfolio of teaching evidence
2.5: Designing of the resources consisting of new and emerging technologies in order to engage
individual needs in specialist area of English
Resources are considered as significant as it help teachers to develop conductive teaching
environment which aid students to grasp fast. Proper and effective management styles are an aid
for boosting morale of students in an effective manner. Informal learning spaces can aid in
capture attention as well as promote awareness in regards with new ideas and empowering
learners (McKay, 2018). A place can be built with collaborative initiatives in regards with
information technology as well as libraries which aids in embedding technology in a strategic
manner. This technological aspect aid in enhancing teaching as well as make adequate
modifications in regards with student learning. Through the aid of advanced technologies,
curriculum of English can be prepared in an effective manner with the help of online means. For
designing the virtual resources, online library can be formed which provides access to learners to
read and practice their English text books which led them to indulge in excellent learning
experience. There are varied digital tools which can be used by teachers for teaching their
specialist area, English which encompasses of Hemingway application, Abcya, Ted, Lyric
trainings and many more.
2.6: Employed resources in order to meet and engage individual needs of learners in regards with
chosen specialist area
Resources are formulated by teachers in respect to individual needs of learners which can
enhance their learning experience in an effective manner (Naim and Lenka, 2018). Varied
resources that are prepared by teachers such as text books, online library, hand-written notes and
many more in an effective manner. Employment of varied resources for meeting as well as
engaging needs of learners in relevance with English are mentioned below:
Attractive learning- Teachers use the resources like power point slides and role plays for
improvising the learning experiences of learners in a strategic manner. Through this, needs of
learners who are having visual learning capabilities can be fulfilled in an effective manner. With
the help of this learning can become interesting as well as attractive which led them to
concentrate on the desired study materials.
Make differentiation- It is imperative for teachers to make clear differentiation among
their sources in order to meet individual needs of learners in a strategic manner (Nash, 2021). It
7

can be done by learners through analysing the varied needs as well as learning styles of
differential individuals. They can provide differential learning experiences to different
individuals as per their capabilities.
TASK D: REFLECTIVE ACCOUNT
5.1: Evaluation of the effectiveness of own practice in regards with development and use of
resources for meeting individual needs in English
It is desirable for people to ascertain their effectiveness in regards with designing as well
as using resources in order to meet individual needs (Saykili, 2018). Being an English teacher, I
have analysed desires of the individuals in respect to learning which aid me in differentiating the
content prepared for each and every student. I have planned to prepare the content on the basis of
learning capabilities of the learners in order to enhance their experience in a strategic manner. I
have analysed that visual aids and online content is considered as most viable for students for
focusing in an effective manner. Power point slides help students to gain an access to knowledge
regarding varied topics which have been taught by me in regards with English language. I try to
make use of insights in relation to online content as it can be easily assessed in a strategic
manner and also help students in enhancing their experience. I also try to prepare sources which
are cost-effective as well as interesting in order to make that interesting. I have critically evaluate
the learning capabilities as well as needs of differential learners which aid them to enhance their
experiences.
5.2: Identification of own strengths and weaknesses in regards with development and use of
resources in English
It is imperative to teachers to have insights regarding their strengths and opportunities as
well as areas of development in a strategic manner which aid them in enhancing their techniques
of preparing sources (Shafiee, and et.al 2019). In order to analyse own strength and weaknesses,
SWOT analysis is taken into consideration. Personal SWOT analysis is as follows:
Strengths
 I felt very confident in using a variety
of resources as per the learning abilities
as well as needs of individuals. I am aware regarding preparation as
Weaknesses
 I am kind of person who wants to stick

 I can improve myself in the area related
to skill audit of learners which aid me
in gaining insights in regards with
learners.
Opportunities
 Blended learning whereby virtual as
well as physical methods both are used
for enhancing the learner experiences is
a new aspect which needs to be
considered. This practice allows for
flexible as well as distance learning
exercise.
 Updation of technology is needed for
industrial as well as vocational training
is also a significant aspect which is an
opportunity for learners to improvise
their knowledge as well as expertise. I can gain opportunity of working with
specialist and experts of field which aid
me in gaining insights regarding varied
competencies.
Threats
 Negotiating with learners can poses as a
threat for teachers as it is a time
consuming act.
 High competition can poses as a threat
for teachers as there numerous
professionals who have high level of
skills.
5.3: Producing a plan which aid in identifying opportunities to enhance own skills and
competencies
There are varied opportunities presented in this field for enhancing the skill and
competencies of teacher in a strategic manner (Schmalz, Ludwig, and Webster, 2018). Blended
learning and updated as well as emerging technology is considered as important for teachers in
order to make pace with dynamic trends of market. It is imperative for me to understand the
9

concept and benefits of blended learning which encompasses of methods in regards with virtual
and physical aspects. It is considered as beneficial for teachers as well as learners to take care of
technological adaptions in order to prepare the source for improvising the learner experiences.
Updates in relation to vocational areas are considered as significant for learners as it helps them
to modify the desired skills. Personal development plan in relation with English teacher is
mentioned below:
