Get access to every lesson you’ll ever need
Explore a massive collection of ESL textbooks, PowerPoints, and multimedia.
Audio and video materials for every age, level, and teaching style — organized in one shared cloud drive.
Over 2 TB of ready-to-teach materials, in one place.
The Big ESL Drive gives you access to textbooks, PowerPoints, worksheets, audio, and video files for every level and age group. Kids, teens, adults, conversation, grammar, IELTS, and business English are organized by topic and level so you can grab what you need and teach on Zoom, Google Meet, ClassIn, or most other platforms.
Still looking for a teaching job to use these materials in? You can compare online teaching companies and read teacher reviews on the free OTC Company List.
Unlock unlimited access to over 2 TB of ESL resources — courseware-style folders, textbooks, PowerPoint presentations, and multimedia that often ships with the books.
- Over 2 TB of ready-to-teach textbooks, PowerPoints, and audio/video files
- Organized and instantly downloadable for Zoom, ClassIn, Google Meet, and most other teaching platforms
- Materials for kids, adults, teens, business English, and exam prep (IELTS, TOEFL, KET, and more)
- An AI searcher that recommends materials when you describe the student — age, level, and interests
Included with the drive
Ask, and the AI searcher finds the lesson
When you get access to Big ESL Drive, you also get our search platform. You can ask a question the way you would ask another teacher, instead of clicking through folders.
I’m looking for a course book for an 11 year old boy who’s interested in science and technology. He’s at A2 level.
The AI looks through the drive and recommends something suitable for that student. It gives you a few different options, so you can find materials faster.
- Describe the student — age, level, interests, or the kind of lesson you need
- Get several real options from the library, not just one guess
- Spend less time hunting and more time teaching

See Member and Pro on the pricing pageFrequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about Big ESL Drive.
What is the AI searcher?
Access to Big ESL Drive includes our search platform. You ask in plain language — for example, a course book for an 11 year old who likes science and technology at A2 level — and the AI searcher recommends a few suitable options from the library.
You can preview the library on this page. The preview lists what is inside. It does not open the files.
How does this work?
The drive is a curated library of teaching resources. We make every reasonable effort to keep the majority of files copyright-free or appropriately licensed.
Because teachers can also upload files, copyrighted content can occasionally slip through. Review licensing before you use modern or third-party resources in class.
Anyone who uploads material is responsible for making sure their files comply with copyright and licensing laws.
When will I get access?
After you join Member or OTC Pro, we add you to the shared Google Drive, usually within 12–24 hours. Then open Google Drive and look under Shared Folders on the left.
If you registered with a non-Gmail email, or you cannot see the folder, contact support and we will help you get access.
Can I download material?
Yes. Download what you need, or use files in the browser and screen-share them the same way you would with any Google Drive folder.
Can I play videos and audio in the drive?
Yes. Many resources include audio, video, flashcards, and homework. You can share your screen and run them from the cloud.
What if you don’t have the book I need?
Ask us. We will try to track it down and add it, usually within a week. Contact an OTC admin or support from your membership.
Can I share this drive with my friends?
Access is tied to your membership email. Do not share the folder. Login is meant for one member at a time.
What if I want to cancel?
Manage or cancel your OTC Member or OTC Pro subscription from your OTC billing area. You do not need to email anyone to cancel.
What is the refund policy?
OTC monthly plans include a 7-day money-back guarantee. Details are on the pricing page.
Does this include ESL Courseware?
Big ESL Drive is the resource library included with Member and Pro. The ESL Courseware digital classroom is a separate Pro app. See both on the pricing page.
