A classroom is a complex world that contains a relatively heterogeneous group of students. Despite their innate skills and abilities, some students get unrecognized or neglected due to teachers' failure in making proper assessments. As a result, many students who could be potential scientists or experts in any other field become dropouts or underachievers. When classroom instructors only rely on test results without being very keen on using their observational skills to assess their students comprehensively, they jeopardize the future of so many children during their careers. Hence, it would be apt to say that a child's future partially lies in the hands of their early educators.
This book specifically addresses the problems faced by slow learners in the English classroom. It analyses the reasons that make a student a slow learner and provides valuable insights about the strategies and tools English language instructors need to employ to identify and support slow learners in their classes. Although this book is intended for use by the teachers of English, it will be a helpful guide for all teachers, student teachers, teacher trainers, researchers, and policymakers.
