A resource is any physical or virtual entity of limited availability that needs to be consumed to obtain a benefit from it. In most cases, commercial or even ethic factors require resource allocation through resource management.

Value of a resource

The purely economic value of a resource is controlled by supply and demand. This is, however, a narrow perspective on resources as there are many things that cannot be measured in money.

Natural resources like forests, mountains etc. are considered beautiful so they have aesthetic value. Resources also have an ethical value as well, because it is our moral duty to protect and conserve them for the future generations.

Characteristics of resources

This section is in need of attention from an expert on the subject. If an appropriate WikiProject or portal exists, please adjust this template accordingly. (July 2010)

Resources have three main characteristics: utility, quantity (often in terms of availability), and consumption. However, this definition is not accepted by some, for example deep ecologists who believe that non-human elements are independent of human values.

What are the necessary resources in a language department?
Q. I'm starting to develop a French department in my school, and my Headteacher wants me to think of resources to get. MFL teachers with experience, what do you need to work properly, apart from the obvious flashcards and CDs/tapes? Thanks. By the way the students are between 9 and 12.

A. The children who are 9 will like films BUT with French voices and preferably French subtitles. I taught a bit of French to some 12 years old children a few months back and they learnt a lot from watching factual information TV documentaries, but in French. You will also need French dictionaries, French textbooks and workbooks. Although not needed, a map of France would be good as would some photographs of places in France, such as the Eiffel Tower, you could then related it to the work. You could even bring in some French food for the children to try.
