  • While you start watching this video, you need to understand the difference between special education and remedial programs. Unlike special education programs where we tend to deal with a disability, remedial classes are just to bridge the gap between what a child knows and what he/she is expected to know at that age.

    0:0:25 - How are remedial classes different?
    Likewise, remedial classes are also different from tuitions. In tuitions, kids go through the same school curriculum and strive to understand it better. However, remedial classes have nothing to do with the school curriculum. It is all about helping a child with learning delay or who are struggling to find a way out to cope up with learning, especially foundational skills.
    Next, we need to understand why do some kids need remedial classes when they are going through the same curriculum in school or they are exposed to the same learning system as others.
    0:1:04 - Why do some kids need remedial classes?
    Processing Time: Some kids can read easily that means the procession time for them to decode a word is less than those who struggle to understand and read a word. This leads to a sense of frustration among struggling learners. This also leads to several academic challenges.
    This leads us to the next discussion which is about the main characteristics of remedial classes.
    0:1:40 - What are the characteristics of remedial classes?
    Systematic- There is a gradual process in which the kids learn. It has nothing to do with the grade of the child. It starts from the least or the very basic skill progressing to the most complex skill(s). For example, for words, we start with the sound, then identifying the word and finally the spelling.
    Highly Structured- The structure is according to the requirement of the child so that they can clearly see the positive difference after taking these classes.
    Direct Instructions- The instructions are all explicit that is nothing is taken for granted. Each step is planned and aims to make understanding easier for the child.
    Complete retraining and mastery of skills: This is where the child is trained or educated on all the basic concepts after identifying the gap so that he/she is able to imbibe the learning.
    Automatic learning and fluent: These classes help the child to learn automatically through constructive methods and become fluent like their peers.
    They are multi-sensory: It involves all the senses which are put to use for the learning. When they see, there is a visual input; when they hear, there is an auditory impact and finally, kinesthetics and oral motor components where someone writes in various ways or when they hear sounds.
    0:3:30 - What is taught in a remedial class?
    The last phase of our discussion is about the actual content of these remedial classes.
    It begins with Phonological Awareness, which is like one step before Phonics. At this stage, the kids are made aware of the different sounds around them. As they keep listening, they start identifying as well. Next, we move on to the Phonemic Awareness which deals with the sound of individual letters. Here, they listen to the sound of each letter of a word and try to understand them first. Then, we move on to Phonics which is the association of the sound and the symbol. Gradually, this gets associated with vocabulary, syntax, comprehension and fluency.
    0:5:05 - What is the duration of remedial classes?
    Remedial educational classes mostly take around 2 years (45 mins and 5 days a week). But, it depends on the child and his/her level of learning difficulty. In conclusion, remedial programs are very important for kids with learning challenges and it surely helps them to build confidence as well.

      The term ’learning disability’ is used in different contexts with different meanings.
      According to the latest DSM-5 (American Psychiatric Association) criteria, the term ’disability’ is not used. It's Specific learning disorder.
      According to ICD-11(International classification of diseases), it's developmental learning disorder.
      But according to Government of India’s RPWD Act(Right of persons with learning disabilities Act), the term learning disability is used.
      In the educational sector also, generally, the term learning disability is used.
      The term depends entirely according to the place and needs for identification.

      The term ’slow learners’ is used very broadly in the Indian context.
      It refers to children who have difficulty to learn necessary academic skills at the same pace as others.
      It is not a diagnostic category but a general term used in Schools.

      Each person is unique, and some may need a longer time, but there is no one specific as remedial disabled unless there are other comorbidities.
      Our brains are neuroplastic, and changes will happen. The approaches have to be varied according to the person.

      Hello.
      Since EFL students often have limited exposure to English, the remediation process should begin with building fundamental language skills, which include:
      Vocabulary - Teaching essential words and phrases to establish a core vocabulary.
      Grammar - Introducing essential grammar rules and sentence structures.
      Pronunciation-Focusing on clear pronunciation.
      The next essential thing is students should engage in listening and speaking exercises. Also, importance should be given to comprehension activities every time to understand and analyse content.
      As with every remediation program, we should plan it according to the specific needs and goals of the student.
      I hope it was helpful.
