The English Resource Centre (ERC) is a new venture to bring the best of contemporary English teaching and learning materials to Kabul University students and staff.  It has

			an information centre/reference library with several thousand books and materials including text-books, readers, tape cassettes, videos and teaching methodology guides
			a computer centre with twelve workstations supplied with language learning software and CD-Roms
			a fully equipped seminar room with seating for up to sixty people and whiteboard, video and projection facilities
			continuous availability of BBC World

The ERC was launched in July 2003  with the support of Kabul University and a group of UK partners, including the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, CfBT Education Services and Crown Agents, as well as the British Council.

It is now fully funded by the British Council and managed by Kabul University and the British Council.  There are three full-time advisory staff. It is mainly aimed at Kabul University students and teachers, particularly those in the English Department; but the seminar room is also available for use by outside organisations involved in English teaching or other development work.
