We have produced two packs of resources for use by ‘English for Speakers of Other Languages’ (ESOL) classes. On this website ESOL teachers can print off their own copies of the resources.
The resource packs are aimed at Entry Level learners and include pre-visit, visit and post visit activities for two of our museum sites - Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery and Blakesley Hall.
