Remedial instruction in education is intended to make a remedy on an existing learning issue that hinders the progress and development of learner's needed competencies and learning objectives. It tries to improve and remediate the basic skills deemed necessary amongst students.
Materials development stands as a crucial domain within ELT (English Language Teaching). For individuals aspiring to enhance and advance their English skills, the utilization of appropriate materials becomes imperative. Enclosed is a PowerPoint (PPT) file, the culmination of my comprehensive research on this subject, offering a historical overview of Materials development to aid your learning journey.

I-1
Oregon K-12 Literacy Framework
Schools teach reading, and
Schools teach reading across instructional areas
Six Organizing Principles of High-Quality Reading Instruction:
Sufficient time for reading instruction is scheduled, and the allocated time is used
effectively.
Data is used to form fluid instructional groupings.
Instruction is focused on the essential elements of reading.
Research-based strategies, programs, and materials are adopted and used schoolwide
with a high level of fidelity.
Instruction is differentiated based on student need.
Effective teacher delivery features are incorporated into daily reading instruction.
The Oregon K-12 Literacy Framework is aligned to Response to Intervention (RTI)
Instruction
OREGON K-12 LITERACY FRAMEWORK Adopted by the State Board of Education, December 2009 I-2
School
The ability to read proficiently is “a must” for school success and learning throughout life. Over the
past 20 years, there has been a growing understanding that reading instruction – teaching all students
how to read – is a critical school responsibility, particularly in the early stages of reading development.
And as the knowledge on reading development deepens, it becomes increasingly apparent that reading
instruction in the classroom must play a central role in education throughout grades K-12, not just in the
first few years of school.1
The Instruction chapter of the Oregon K-12 Literacy Framework addresses the critical role schools
play in teaching all students to be grade-level readers or above in grades K-3 and the equally critical role
schools play in teaching all students to maintain and advance grade-level reading skills in grades 4-12.
Reading well is a prerequisite for students to do well in school, to demonstrate proficiency in the
Essential Skill of Reading, and to earn an Oregon Diploma.
High-quality reading instruction in grades K-12 involves the integration of six major organizing
principles: (1) making sufficient time for reading instruction and using that time effectively, (2) using data
to form fluid instructional groupings, (3) focusing instruction on the essential elements of reading,
(4) using research-based strategies, programs, and materials to target the essential elements of reading,
( 5) differentiating instruction based on student need, and (6) providing effective teacher delivery. Each of
the six organizing principles will be described in detail in the sections that follow.
Organizing Principle 1: Sufficient Time Is Allocated and Used
Effectively for Reading Instruction
The first organizing principle of high-quality reading instruction is that sufficient time is allocated and
used effectively. For all students to meet important reading goals, it is critical to provide enough time
during the school .

Assessment involves the use of empirical data of student learning to refine programs and improve student learning. Assessment is used in many ways in education. The good deal of attention is given to the use in helping and learning. Assessment consist of the diverse learners needs the learner’s assessment assess the certain level of individual that include concepts of exemptions, concession, adaptation and accommodation. All are perfectly helpful for the assessment of diverse learners.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

-For every standard-size secondary school, two additional graduate teachers were provided to facilitate the operation of remedial class in the subjects of Chinese and English in the junior forms.
-This is a set of guidelines on Remedial Teaching that will assist schools in planning and implementations by covering both the administrative as well as the professional aspects.
-They are soliciting opinions and feedbacks through questionnaires about various aspects of the remedial program.
-The ultimate aim of remedial class is to help the students who are falling behind to get back into the mainstream classes as far as possible.
-Teacher is expected to pay greater attention to individual weaknesses and needs for there are usually not more than 20 students in each remedial class.
-It can be in a partitioned corners of the assembly hall or covered playground, in special rooms or any other vacant rooms as available.
-There should include a separate register for each remedial group, records of individual students as well as the record of student transfer where appropriate.
1.a. The panel chairperson should ensure that there is adequate coordination across levels to provide smooth progression and continuity for students of the mainstream classes as well as those of the remedial classes.
b. Panel Chairperson should ensure that there is close coordination between teachers of the mainstream as well as the remedial classes. She can arrange a place and time for teachers to meet to discuss the scheme of work. Example: core and optional elements for teaching, producing IMs and dealing with examination papers.
c. As a subject expert. The Panel Chairperson should always be on hand to offer professional advice to the panel members especially those who are new and non-subject-trained.
Panel Chairperson should always see to it that the remedial program is under constant evaluation and review so that everyone is happily involved in bringing about a rewarding experience for teachers and students alike.
2.a. it is essential for the remedial class teachers to coordinate with the teachers of the mainstream class to agree on the core items to be covered in the scheme of work for the level.
b. It is important to identify the areas where the students are weak right from the beginning of the academic year so that the teacher could tackle those lessons first rather that build on a shaky foundation.
c. It is not feasible for the remedial class students and mainstream class students to do exactly the same work with exactly the same coursebooks. The teacher has to carefully select or design materials that suits the abilities of the students.
d. Keeping records will be very helpful in reviewing individual student progress and devising appropriate teaching strategies catering for individual needs.
3.a. Student’s strengths and weaknesses should be gauged and the teaching program should build on what the students already possess and bridge any gaps in their knowledge.
b. The remedial class eacher should carefully select and design the materials that will cater the needs of the students.
c. The teacher should build in more practice, repetitions and recycling of items to improve students’ retention.
d. English should be using library used as a teaching medium. Teacher could also encourage more extensive reading by using library reources and making more use of language teaching tapes.
e. Priority should always be given to revising what students have forgotten in their previous learning. Progress in smaller steps.
4. It is necessary to compare the achievements of all the students in the level in end-of-term or end-of-year examinations.
1st bullet- ACT- Ameican College Testing – paper based standardized test
AST- Scholastic Aptitude Test
2nd square (bullet)-Often, each college or university sets its own score thresholds for determining whether a student must enroll in remedial courses.
For example, a college might use a score of 19 on the ACT math section as the threshold for determining whether a student must enroll in a remedial math course or college-level math course.
3rd square bullet-Colleges review a student's score by subject - math, English, science, etc. - and compare that score to the school's cutoff. Particularly at community college – which are open enrollment to any student with a high school degree
Remedial teaching is the use of activities, techniques and practices to eliminate weaknesses or
deficiencies that the slow learner is known to have. For example deficiencies in basic math skills
are reduced or eliminated by re-teaching the content that was not learned earlier. The
instructional environment does not change, as in the compensatory approach. Conventional
instructional techniques such as drill and practice might be employed.
It is like a special/summer class for those who failed a subject. It is a program given to students to give them a chance to pass the said subject.
. Individualized Educational Programme should include short-term and long-term teaching objectives, learning steps, activities and reviews to ensure that the programme is implemented effectively. Teaching can be done in small groups or for individual. If necessary, remedial teachers, other teachers, student guidance officers/teachers, parents and pupils alike are to participate in designing the programme. Remedial teachers hold meetings regularly to evaluate the effectiveness of work and gather opinions for refinement.
Peer support programme helps pupils reinforce their knowledge, and develop their communication and cooperation skills as well as good interpersonal relationship. To enhance the effectiveness of the program, remedial teachers must provide training to the pupils concerned beforehand and make regular reviews on its effectiveness. Generally speaking, this program is more suitable for pupils of higher grades.
It aims at guiding pupils to set their own objectives and plans, and positively reinforcing their good performance. No matter what reward is provided, the most important thing is to help pupils cultivate an interest in learning and gain a sense of satisfaction and achievement during the learning process .
