Open Resources for English Language Teaching (ORELT) is intended to support the classroom activities of teachers of junior secondary schools (JSS). The aims of ORELT are to: Provide a bank of ‘open content’ multi-media resources in on-line and traditional text formats that will support school-based education and training for teachers in junior secondary schools; Provide ‘open content’ support resources for teacher educators who prepare teachers for junior secondary schools. To achieve these aims a Situation analysis of English language teaching (ELT) in selected Commonwealth nations was undertaken to determine strengths, gaps and challenges of teaching English in Africa and Asia. This formed the basis for developing appropriate materials that address the needs and realities of JSS teachers. The six modules are:

Module 1: Better Listening

Module 2: Speaking for Better Communication

Module 3: Success in Reading

Module 4: Effective Writing

Module 5: Language through Literature

Module 6: Communicative Grammar

Each module has five units containing a range of case studies, activities and resources which teachers can easily adapt and use in their classrooms. Note, the OERLT project and portal is no longer active, resources from this project are available in PDF format only.
