Resources

The resources referred to here are of two kinds - those produced specifically by OCR and those found elsewhere on The Web. These sites have been carefully chosen with the English Language course 9001 in mind, however OCR cannot accept responsibility for resources not produced by itself.

These resources may be more easily searched by starting from the specification, the list of Main Topics,and Tasks.
