Educational resources

Educational resources come in many different forms today, including CDs, software, DVDs, videos, books, overheads, websites, posters, and demonstration kits. With so many forms of media, learning becomes more effective as it is more interesting as well as providing a means of interaction. Whether for primary, secondary or tertiary education, or for specialist subjects (such as languages) educational resources abound in libraries, book stores, and online.
Different resources are available for a range of subject material, whether for teachers, lecturers, parents or students. For educators that have run out of ideas, educational resources can provide creative lesson plans with multimedia aids. For parents, books with syllabus objectives outlined can help with assisting their child. While students can access a variety of reference resources from school and local libraries, as well as on the internet. Multimedia resources can really help a student achieve their academic potential in a an interesting and effective manner, whether studying for exams or writing assignments.

English language resources

Language books are useful for beginners learning a foreign language, for refreshing your memory in a language, or as a reference resource. These books will usually focus on a combination of language aspects, including written and spoken English. Often language books will include a tape, CD, DVD, or video for teaching pronunciation, aural comprehension and for interactive practice on a computer. Another form of language books are bi-lingual or multilingual fiction books, which often have one page in the foreign language, while the opposing page provides a translation of the text.
Dictionaries are a very useful resource when learning another language. The functions of a dictionary are to provide definitions, proper pronunciation, correct spelling as well as any restrictive labels attached to a word. Pronunciation of a particular word may vary from region to region, so a dictionary will give the generally accepted pronunciation. The dictionary will use italics to indicate the syllable in a word to be stressed. If a word is marked 'informal', 'colloquial' or 'slang' it signals caution in their use.
A bilingual dictionary is a dictionary that is usually used to translate words or phrases from one language to another. A multilingual dictionary will translate phrases into more than one language, the most common form being the trilingual dictionary. These are designed mainly for students, travelers, translators and businessmen working overseas.
