The main aim of the Madrid Young Learners Resource Centre is to help students with their English learning and to support teachers in their daily teaching tasks. We have around 22.000 resources available and offer a wide range of services and activities.
Join our library and get access to:
- A lending and reference service - including a range of Early Years, Primary and Secondary fiction and non-fiction books suitable for students between the ages of 2-17; magazines; DVDs; audiobooks; CDs and CD-ROMs; songs for children; self-study resources; exam practice books; and reference material (encyclopaedias, dictionaries, thesaurus, atlas, etc)
- Computers and laptops - the resource centre has 8 computers and 24 laptops with specific programmes that can be used in class and individually
- Classroom visits - students can visit the Resource Centre with their teacher for research or study purposes
- Recommendations - we offer our customers excellent suggestions depending on the student’s level. This service can be requested at any time of year
- Reading and Writing Circle - we host highly successful and popular clubs for students who enjoy reading and writing and want to further develop their skills in detail
- Projects with technology resources - with their classes teachers can use a variety of resources such as PlayStation Portables, ActiVotes, voice recorders, video cameras, Wii, Play Station 3 and more
- Resources for teachers - we have a wide range of coursebooks; supplementary materials; story packs, puppets and games; electronic resources; games for students; magazines; worksheets; class sets of books; and photocopiable material
- Cultural programme - every year the resource centre celebrates a full week of cultural activities, events and workshops, where our students are the main protagonists. Every year we also produce a professionally bound book of stories and involve our off-site schools to take part in this great project. The book is a mirror of the hard work and effort put in by students, teachers and coordinators behind this programme.
