Principles of Remedial Teaching

Principles of Remedial Teaching

1. Teaching preparation

Before preparing for their lessons, teachers should identify students' diverse learning
needs as soon as possible so that they may design appropriate teaching plans to
facilitate students' effective learning.

2. Devise various learning activities

Since students have different characteristics in learning, teachers must devise


different learning activities with the same teaching objective to develop students'
varied abilities and skills in problem solving. It is more effective for teachers to adopt
a series of relevant and simple teaching activities than assigning one long teaching
activity since students may acquire the required knowledge and skills through
diversified activities.

3. Design meaningful learning situations

Teachers should specifically design meaningful learning situations, language


environments (especially for English subject), games or activities so as to provide
personal learning experiences for students and stimulate their interest and initiative
in learning.
4. Teaching approaches

Teachers should give concrete examples before proceeding to abstract concepts by


way of simple and easy steps at a pace inline with the learning abilities of students.
Teachers may teach new concepts from different perspectives by various approaches
so that students can grasp the ideas through meaningful and repeated illustrations.
Teachers should encourage students' active participation by more frequent use of
teaching aids, games and activities. They can also make use of information
technology and all the teaching resources available to help students understand the
main concept and content of the lesson.

5. Provide clear instructions

Teachers should give pupils short and clear instructions to avoid confusion. They
must explain clearly the arrangement of each learning activity. If necessary, they
may ask students to repeat the steps of activities so that every student may
understand the instructions.

6. Summarise the main points

During the course of teaching, teachers should always sum up the main points and
write the key phrases on the board to enhance students' audio and visual memories.
Teachers can guide their students to link up the knowledge they learned from class
with their life experiences so as to enhance the effectiveness of learning. Besides,
guiding students to repeat the main points in verbal or written form is also an
effective way of learning.

7. Enhance learning interest and motivation

Suffering from frequent frustrations in their work, under achieving students may
gradually lose their interest in learning. Therefore, teachers should adapt the
curriculum to meet the needs of these students. Teachers can design interesting
activities coupled with reward scheme to stimulate students' interest. It is most
important to help students overcome their learning difficulties so that they may gain
a sense of achievement and recover their confidence and interest in learning.

8. Encourage students' active participation in class activities

Under achieving students usually lack self-confidence and are more passive in class.
They seldom ask questions or express their views. Teachers should patiently
encourage active participation in class. Pleasurable learning experiences may help
enhance atudents' interest in learning.
9. Focus on the learning process

Teaching should not only focus on the transmission of knowledge. It is also


important to see that students are benefited from the entire learning process.
Teachers should provide ample opportunities in class for students to practise and
think about what they have learnt, and allow them to solve problems by different
means. Teachers should also carefully observe the performances of students and
give them appropriate assistance, feedback and encouragement so as to help them
acquire the learning skills, solve their problems and understand their own capability,
thus enhancing self-confidence and improving their learning skills.

10. Show concern for the performances of individual students

Students may encounter different problems in their studies, therefore, teachers


should carefully observe the learning process of individual students in class.
Whenever necessary, they should provide individualized remedial teaching before
and after class, during recess or lunchtime, so that they can remove the learning
obstacles as soon as possible. When marking assignments, teachers should take
note of the common errors of students and deliver the correct concepts and
knowledge to them promptly.
