Modern Pedagogical Language Learning Strategies for the Weak Learners

The word ‘teacher' represents knowledge – transfer of knowledge from the teacher to the taught. In fact, the foundation that builds a person is to great extent based on the knowledge he gets from his teacher. If there is somebody other than our parents who plays an important role in our mental development, it's our teachers. A good teacher doesn't mean he/she teaches well, but can make learners know they can learn well. To make learners interested in their learning, first a teacher should make them aware of what they are capable for. Teaching is a procedure that intimately involves both the learners and teacher together. This profession needs sincerity, creativity, dedication and imagination that require to take teaching to heart and to care about each problem. The more a teacher thinks about a student, more he/she gets the solution. Being a teacher, one should try to understand problem area; problems among learners can vary to friends, family or on personal condition. Psychological analysis gives a reason why a student is not learning and helps finding a solution. It is important to help teachers to make self-improvement. Teachers should think out various ways and try them out in teaching, as it will help to make the class more interesting and create more chances for us to improve the teaching. Teachers should also try to find if there are any physical or mental problems with weak learners. For example, if a student is unable to write something from board or to comprehend with the speaker, he may have some physiological, psychological, environmental, linguistics, and content barriers. Some learners may also suffer from interpretation problems which make them unable to cope with all learners of the class. Here comes the main duty of teachers to find problems first and then treat learners accordingly. The teacher of the present time should be open to the world, learn about what happens therein and follow up the new developments in the field of competence; otherwise, he falls prey to cognitive illiteracy.

By helping the weak learners I believe in creating a friendly, well-disciplined and united class atmosphere which would definitely help these specific learners become more confident and take more initiative as well as responsibility for their study. A teacher must appreciate weak learners even if they get little achievement and give them confidence that they can do the best like other classmates. Helping them in their weak areas (concepts of grammar) and giving little more importance to their practice for grammar, paraphrasing, paragraph writing, not only help him realize the importance of sentence construction but also make sure they must not feel it like a burden or pressure. A variety of methods are employed and evaluated. They have been validated through meetings, personal interaction, questionnaires, interviews, and learners' actions and self-evaluations.
