A ‘Subject’ search of the online catalogue of
the CILT Resources Library will identify the library’s current
holdings of materials in a particular language. A basic
criterion for library acquisitions of teaching materials is that
they should be in print in the UK (i.e. either published here or
with a reliable distribution, if published abroad). Holdings for
individual languages will vary (for instance, a search for French
[Browse list Subject = FRENCH (MATERIALS)] offers 969 hits).
Examples of Special searches or Special lists, where the needs of a
specific group of learners have been identified, can be accessed on
the catalogue home page.
A number of the Suppliers listed on the
Resources pages of the Primary Languages website cater for
other age groups as well, and there is an indication in each entry
if the supplier has a particular language specialization, or if
their coverage is multilingual.
While it is obviously not possible to cover
all languages here, the following booksellers or distributors also
provide for a wide range of languages and for varied age groups in
their catalogues and offer a good starting point for research:
