Hampshire EMTAS Resources Centre

We have a range of materials and books for Hampshire LA schools to borrow on free short-term loan. Our resources include dual language story-packs and books, topic support materials, information on asylum seekers, magazines, teachers' books on assessment, second language development and learning and a small range of artefacts.

If you would like to visit the centre, or if you would like to borrow resources please telephone the Resources Manager on 01256 330195.

If you would like to buy your own copies of dual-language books, dictionaries and welcome posters we have a list of external suppliers who will be pleased to supply you with a catalogue or details. Some of them have on-line ordering.

Other local resource centres

Our resources centre is forming closer links with other local resource centres, with the aim of sharing good practice. Addresses of these Hampshire resources centres can be found in our external links section.
