MAIN BODY
TASK 2
Effectiveness of special resources for meeting individual needs
There are various resources which are used by the lecturers of college who teaches English
language and literature that play their roles accordingly and helps in meeting the different needs
of the individuals. These are lesson plans, phonemic charts, articles, classroom activities and
many more. Lesson plans prove to be the best resource in teaching the students the language and
literature of English. This is the systematic plan which consists of all the lessons, Objectives,
description of the materials needed, a complete procedure of the opening and closing as well as
the complete assessment along with the modifications which also motivate teachers. This proves
to be effective in teaching the students English language and literature especially for all types of
learners. Another resource can be the phonemic chart which helps the students in hearing and
understanding the sounds of English by using a specific tool (Smither, Houston and McIntire,
2016). This helps in developing skills of the learners and satisfies the needs of the auditory
learners. Classroom activities are also performed to enable the students to learn the things
practically through hands-on-practice. These helps in meeting the needs of the physical learners.
Principles of Resource design
The principles of the resource design are meeting the needs of the learners, VAK, fit-for-
purpose, addressing the learning domains, current content, SMOG test readability and many
more. Among all these, the most predominant principle of designing must be aimed at meeting
the learning needs in which the lecturers teach the students according to the needs of the students
