INTRODUCTION
Teachers usually specialized in a particular grade level and subjects. Similarly ESOL
teachers are instructor of the non- speaking people on the fundamentals of the English language,
so they can communicate with the others effectively and ESOL teachers are mostly employed by
the people who came from the other countries. People who came from foreign within a country
where people speak English as a second language usually appoint ESOL teachers, so they can be
conferable with the locals.
This report will define the resources of teaching like Visual prompts or the simulation.
Providing opportunities to develop ICT skills and learnings like Engaging learning style , use of
equipments and tools etc. This report will evaluate own effectiveness areas from own specialist
learning needs. It will analyse resource designing and include the sources within the teaching
that inform resource development. This report will implement theories, models and principle and
also analyse ways in which resources can be adopted to enable inclusive approaches. In the end
of this report will evaluate self effectiveness in the design resourcing to identify area where
improvements are needed and it will also develop a five point action plan for own improvement
in design and use of resources to enhance learning.
TASK
A) Main purpose of resources in learning and teaching
Teaching resources
There are some resource of the teaching that help ESOL teachers develop their teaching
skills and make them more effective in their teaching task. Teaching resources like Visuals
Prompts are useful resources for the Visuals Prompts teachers to make their student understand
thorough Visuals like photographs, objects etc. That makes easy for the student to understand
what their teacher trying to make them understand. In a English language It can be difficult for
the students to understand it but it becomes easy for the teachers when they teach with the help
of Visual Prompts. When students learn the new languages in the Immersive environments then
they can feel Anxious and Disoriented (Alana., 2017). Visuals are important in this situation to
make the student conferable with the language and teachers can also explain it well through the
Graphs, photographs etc. It helps to reduce Anxiety in the students and increase their
comprehension and can even help them with the decoding.

ICT Skills- Some other resources like Computer software that can be useful for the
teachers to translate some words for the students because sometimes students can face
difficulties to understand it. ESOL teachers should focus to use this kind of resources to make
their teaching more effective.
Learning Resources
Their are various learning style that can help ESOL teachers to help students to learn
English more effectively, Hybrid style is one of them. Hybrid learning is an combination of the
online and face to face learning into a one cohesive experience. ESOL teachers can teach the
student from both on
Develop required skills- IT is necessary for the ESOL teachers to develop necessary
skills in students like communication skills that will help in effective learning.
B) Evaluate the effectiveness of the specific resource in meeting individual Learning needs in
teaching and learning context
There are some resources within the ESOL teaching in meeting a individual needs in the
learning.
Effectiveness of Specific resources
Specific to knowledge content- It is necessary for the ESOL teachers to provide specific
knowledge to their student that required them, and they should avoid providing unnecessary
knowledge so learning can be effective. Identification of the specific resources can be helpful
and increase the knowledge of students Face to face learning can be effective sources for the
students as compare to the other sources of learning (Lashley., 2019). Students pay more
attention when teacher teach them face to face and it also makes easy for the ESOL teachers to
teach students. Effectiveness of this kind of resources are high as compare to the other.
Matching with the ability of the learner- this is the resource that can be helpful in
teaching at the level and ability of the learner. They can set the difficultly level like, if the
student has just started learning the English language then Teacher can start with the basics and
slowly, they can move forward. It will help them to learn more effectively and match with their
standard of learning of English language. It will increase the effectiveness of teaching by the
ESOL teachers and they will provide better learning to their students.
Addressing required skills- Addressing the required skills in students can be to make the
teaching of ESOL teachers more effective. Skills like Quick learning, communication and

decision making skills must be build within the student. ESOL teachers can build the skills in
the students but they should ensure about their own skills for the communication, learning and
decision making.
Meeting needs
Creating interest within the student can helpful for the ESOL teacher to teach students
effectively. Creating the interest within the student will enable student to understand the
information more effectively and there are many ways that can make the learning effective for
the students. Interest can be created by the ESOL teachers through fun activities that will build
the interest in the students.
Proving opportunities for the active learning- reading and discuss ion and asking question
can be good opportunity for the student and it is also an part of the active learning. To make
students active all the times ESOL teachers should continuously ask questions to the students to
remind what they learn (Marcellini., 2019). Reading of the books can also a good strategy for the
student because it makes easy for the student to understand the language and if they will able to
learn the English then they will quickly learn and able to speak as well.
challenges- Challenges can be created for the students by the ESOL teachers, that will
help to meed needs and demand of the students. If students will get the challenging task from
their teachers then they will put more effort and give their best to face those challenges. It is
important for the ESOL teachers to provide continues challenges, so they can learn English
quickly and they will able to meet their goals and objectives. It will keep them engaged with
learning and increase their ability to learn quickly a new language.
Individual learning- Individual learning is one of the most effective resource to meed the
neds of student and ESOL teachers will able to concentrate properly on single student. It will
help students to learning the language quickly and both teachers and studenty will be focused oin
teach other.
C) Analyse Principle of resource design
Principles of resource designing
The principle of the resource designing are meeting the needs of the learners, resources
are specially developed that help to the student to learn English effectively and quickly, it is
necessary for the ESOL teaching ensuring availability of resource's.

learning resource support and motivating can also be useful resources for the ESOL
teachers. Motivating and supporting to the students can help ESOL teachers to be more
effective, and they can create trust upon the student so emotionally both teacher and student will
able to understand each other and learn effectively(Haggerty., 2019).
There are some specialist tools and equipments that can be used by ESOL teachers for
the effective teaching, there are many applications are available on the mobile, Thais application
can be useful for the teachers and student both because sometimes words can have different
meaning and student can face difficulty so this kind of applications can be useful for the students
who are learning English, and they can use during their practice (Masterson., 2020).
Reinforcing learning- A Reinforcing learning is the area that is concerned with the
intelligent agents ought to take the immediately action within the teach-in environment.
Reinforcement learning is the training of machine learning models to make a sequence of
decisions. The agent learns to achieve a goal in an uncertain, potentially complex environment.
In reinforcement learning, artificial intelligence faces a game-like situation. Its main goal is to
enhance the total reward.
Sufficient quality and quality- It is necessary to have sufficient quality in teaching and
quantity of the resources to meed the learning demand of the students and address their issues.
Cost effective- there are many cost effective resources available for the teaching that
makes easy for the teachers to use and it can useful for the ESOL teachers as well to make
learning for the student better.
D) Evaluation of sources that inform resources development, including emerging technology
2.2 Sources to inform development
Exploring the good practices with the peers and colleges can be helpful in developing
own specialist areas for the ESOL teaching, and teachers can develop in themselves as an
effective teachers and teach students effectively. Nowadays Internet is also a helpful resource for
the development of teaching area, and they can learn more new things to be effective teachers.
Online classes platform are available on the internet where ESOL teachers can apply and get the
students who want to learn English language (Peercy and Troyan., 2017). They will not need to
find students, those sites will provide them students and amount from their total earning will be
reduced by particular site.

Study centres- There are various study centres available within the local areas where
ESOL teachers can apply and work on the salary basis. It will help them develop themselves as a
professional in this field, and they will able to become a professional teacher using the advance
technology within the institutes. ESOL teachers get high level of technology at the study centre
and training as well. It is useful for them in better learning, and they will also able to teach
students effectively.
Formal Sources
There are many organization that provide a guidelines and advice to the students about
ESOL teachers. It can be developed and formal sources for the teachers if they register
themselves with those organizations because they provide rating to them and if students give
good rating to them then chances of the recommendation from the other student's also increase
for the ESOL teachers. This application cover their skills, knowledge and including reviews by
the people who have learnt English from them.
Commercial providers- A commercial service provider (CSP) is. an entity that supplies
the system and services needed to provide the back-office infrastructure for a business. It
includes internet, network and communications service providers.
2.5 Specialist resource
Case study- One of the best and specialist resource for the ESOL teachers is Case study,
A Case studies can be helpful for them to teach their student a English language. Students can
relates with it and understand information by using the case study (Playsted., 2019). Case studies
include situation that ca be imagine by the students, and they can rested with it easily and it
makes easy for them analyse by understanding. This will make the ESOL teachers more capable
to making students understand, and they will able to become specialist in their area.
Notes making – Notes making habit in the students are professional practices given by
the teachers and show the specialization. Student's can use notes to remember the things for the
long times, and they can read notes whenever they want and it will make them learn more better.
ESOL teachers can use this strategy to specialize in their area.
Computer equipments – Digitalization in every area making things more effective and
attracting people easily. ESOL teachers can also use the opportunity and use the computerized
equipments, so they can work online and provide online faculties to the student's who are taking
English classes from the ESOL teachers.

Learning Resources Materials are materials that are used for teaching a course.
Collection: A meaningful organization of learning resources such as web sites, documents, apps,
etc. that provides users an easier way to discover the materials.
E) Analysation of theories, principles and models of inclusive design for the resource
development
Theories, principles and Models of the inclusive curriculum design can be useful for the
ESOL teacher to be specialist in the own specific areas. Neuro Linguistic programming is one of
the approach that involve strategies that helps to reach personal goals. This approach can be used
by ESOL teacher for their personal improvement and it will help them develop themselves as a
professional (Yazdanpanah., 2015).
It is mainly used for the improvement in a job professional. Kolb's Experiential learning
can be used by ESOL teacher for their resource development and inclusive design ESOL teacher
will able to provide better learning about the English language, and they can improve their work
ability and learn about new strategies. Here is the model of inclusive learning-
Kolb's Experiential learning
It is the concept that divided into the process into the cycle of the four basic theoretical
concepts that include concentrate experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization
ad active experimentation, This experimental cycle could be used by ESOL teacher for their
improvement.
Concrete experience
Concrete experiences can be new experiences that already happened, each and every
learner of the ESOL teacher will be engaged with a task or any activity related to the English
learning.
Reflection observation
After the learning of the English language, ESOL teacher will give their student's a work
to write reflection on the task they have performed, so they all will write according to their
experience and learning.
Abstract conceptualization
Another step will be for the student's to drew a conclusion of the experience they get
from the reflection and task.
Active experimentation

It is the last stage called active experimentation, where ESOL teacher will take their test
on the learning of the English language.
F) Ways in which resources adopted to enable inclusive approaches
In case of teacher they can adopt different techniques like allotting resources at different
level so that teachers can provide the best level of guidance to students. In case of language there
are many barriers which teachers needed to address so that professional level guidance and
knowledge can be allotted to the students who seek to learn different languages. It is crucial to
adopt the language so that proper touch can be achieved over the language. Resources at
different level will allow the teacher to advice students in gaining the bets level of knowledge to
learn new language. SWOG test is another resources that can be adopted by the ESOL teacher to
allocate the knowledge related to the language to all different students. All these resources are
the bets support.
` There are various sources and educational tools that can be used by the ESOL teachers to
provide better learning and knowledge. For examples- Audio and video visuals- Audio and video
can be useful sources for the ESOL teacher and this is inclusive approach where teachers
develop learning about the language through the video visual and audio. It makes their work easy
and student's can understand what teach want them to understand.
Smart devices and software
There are various smart devices like mobile phones and software and available in the
market that can be used by the ESOL teachers to learn their student's, it can make easy for the
ESOL teachers to work from their home and teach their student's without meeting. It help to save
both time and money.
I favour of the students in gaining the best level of knowledge as a student. Furthermore,
other than these resources inter organisation loans can also support the students in gaining the
best quality of knowledge related to the foreign language. Financial resources are among the key
resources that are associated with the students that they needed in gaining the best level of
knowledge of foreign language (Yuan, Shen and Ewing., 2017).
The Model of Curriculum design
The way we understand and theorize about curriculum nowadays has altered significantly
over the years. Today, simplest definition of the word “curriculum” is the subjects comprising a

course of study at schools, universities or colleges The Current Curriculum Model can be
divided into the two categories. The process model and product model.
Product model
The product model is based on a result oriented and focused on the grands and its their
main objective, with the lying more on the finished products rather than the learning process. For
examples- As a ESOL teacher if I use the product model of Curriculum Design then I will try to
provide better grates to the Student's rather than the learning and developing of knowledge.
The process model
The process model is more open-ended and its focus on how the learning to develop over
a period. For examples- By using the process model ESOL teacher will be more focused to
develop learning in their students, so they can develop a understanding of the language in over a
period of time.
G) Review ways in which classified and stores and ways sharing resources
3.1 Classification
It is necessary or the ESOL teachers to provide a clear and classification of the revival
so students can use the resources properly and even teachers should also clarify and identify the
resources, so they can provide the best possible resources to their students.
Systematic filing and management of the resources- It is necessary for the ESOL
teachers to have systematic system and they should properly manage their resources for their
better use. The data they have related to their students and their performance related should be
properly checked and it should be properly filed with the systems and the procedures.
Storage
there are many devices available within the market that can be used by the ESOL
teachers for their resources storage. For examples- USB which is used for the storing
information, it is small device and easy to carry and it can also come with the TB capacity in
terms of storing the data.
3.2 Sharing resources
Internet sources like social media can be useful for platform for the ESOL teachers to
share any kind of information to the people. Almost every people are connected with the social
media where they can share their thoughts and their day to day activities (Yuan, Shen and
Ewing., 2017). ESOL teachers can also share the personal and professional information so

people can know that they provide English language teaching to the students so the people what
are interested in will contact them thorough the DM's. For examples- Linkdin, where ESOL
teachers can upload their profile and give their informations and specialization to the world. This
sites will automatically suggest their profile to the people who are looking for the ESOL
teachers, so they can learn new languages.
Internet application- there are various sharing application available on the internet to
share information to each other. For examples- What's App application is one them and it can
be used by ESOL teachers to share information to the students like Notes, test etc.
(H) Legal requirements and responsibilities relating to the development and use of resources.
Plagiarism – When developing and using the resources of teaching and learning by ESOL
teacher, many people can use the immoral and unlawful practices for developing and using the
resources. Therefore, plagiarism laws imposed by UK government ensures that the content of the
original author is being protected and safe. The government also imposes fines and punishment
on people who do not abide by the laws.
Data protection- While developing and using the resources of teaching and learning the teacher
must follow data protection laws. As there are many internal data which is known to the teacher
when they are using and developing the resources (Carey, 2018). Therefore to restrict the wrong
use of internal data UK government has imposed data protection act and ensures that the
information should be used in fair and
Risk assessment – When developing and using resources by ESOL teacher risk relating to the
resources must be assessed. The teacher must make a list of the students that have a risk of using
the resources, the next thing he or she should do is to determine the students that will be harmed
and then checking for some protective measures. As in today's scenario there is risk of Covid-19
therefore proper sanitization should be done.
Health and safety requirements – It is the responsibility of the ESOL teacher to ensure health
and Safety of students when developing and using the resources (Hale. and Booth,2019). If
handling the resources are risky and can affect the safety of students then proper training must be
provided.
Photocopying restrictions – The ESOL teacher when developing and using the resources must
ensure that photocopying laws are being followed by the students and all the material must be

used in a lawful manner, the teacher to avoid any immoral practice regarding photocopying can
ask the students to enter their won username and password.
Analysis of implications of intellectual property rights and copyright for the development and
use of resources.
Intellectual property rights are the rights which are given to the person for the creation of
something new for protecting their ideas and efforts. There are various types of intellectual
property rights such as patents, copyright, trademark etc. intellectual property rights provides
inventor exclusive rights to extract certain benefits from their invention. It is important for the
ESOL teacher to adhere to all the legal laws relating to development and use of resources. They
should also guide the students that they should not surpass any law relating to the intellectual
property rights and copyright.
Patents – Patent is the right granted by the law to the person who invents a new way of doing
things or a new solution for existing problem. When using the resources the teacher should
ensure that the software and programs are not being misrepresented and used for the personal
purpose (Nard, 2019). The teacher should create awareness among students in relation to the
patents of resources which they are using.
Copyright – Copyright is the exclusive right which is given to the creator of the ideas especially
in the field of literary and artistic work. ESOL teacher should keep this law in mind and should
not copy the material to educate the students on their own name. To avoid this the teacher can
put certain restrictions on the site, or they can also put a subscription option to access the site opr
resource (LaFrance, 2017).
While using and developing the resources the following things must be considered which
are contracts, permission for the use, ownership etc and the teacher must teach their students to
be unique and do not copy.
(I)Evaluation of effectiveness of own design and use of resources to engage and meet the
individual needs of learners in own specialist area.
The effectiveness of own design and the use of resources to engage and meet the individual
needs of learners in own specialist area can be evaluated by:
SWEET analysis – For evaluating the effectiveness of own design SWEET analysis is
undertaken and the teacher identifies his or her strengths, passions and the environment where
