Formal learning resources include textbooks, course books, storybooks, dictionaries, and source books which are used in institutional settings like schools under an established curriculum. Informal learning occurs outside classrooms through resources like libraries, language labs, e-books, films, blogs, language institutions, museums, spoken English centers, and literary clubs in a more spontaneous, flexible way without a set curriculum. Both formal and informal learning resources help teachers make language teaching more effective and promote students' language development.

significant and the learning spaces and learning resources provide important
opportunities for students to explore ideas and knowledge collaborate solve

which sets out how the learning objectives are to be achieved in terma of the topics
to be covered and the activities to be under taken. Content assembled by or with
refearence to acknowledged subject experts. As he very least this content is likely
