Slow Learners: Role of Teachers in Developing the Language Skills

Abstract

Students with below average cognitive abilities whom we cannot term as disabled are called slow learners. They struggle to cope with the traditional academic demands of the regular classroom. Actually slow learners are normal students but the problem is that they are simply not interested in studying under traditionally accepted system of education. The objective of this article is to understand the characteristics of a slow learner and the role of teachers to improve them in developing the language skills.
