Teacher, teaching and instructional resources go hand in hand, particularly, in handling English within English as Second Language (ESL) context. This study focused on availability and use of resources for teaching English in Ilorin, Nigeria. The study was descriptive and it involved 100 teachers across schools in Ilorin as respondents using questionnaire. The results show that where resources are available, teachers use only the non-human. It also shows that the variables of gender, school type and school location do not have any significant influence on the availability/use of resources. It was therefore recommended that teachers should change their dispositions and use both human and non-human resources in teaching English.
