Remedial and Revision Resources

for Secondary Level Teachers

Dear colleagues,

Secondary level teachers have been focusing on their students'

low level of achievement in various English Language elements

at the secondary stage. Although it is commonly believed that

teachers at this stage concentrate on test attacking skills and

strategies, they undoubtedly wish that they could teach language

in a more balanced and rational way. The teachers remarked

that there are specific points of weaknesses in the students

knowledge base. In presenting these accumulated  points

of weakness in the Structure, Functions and Writing areas,

we hope that teachers will select those items  that they feel

 need expansion, simplification, and amplification and prepare

effective remedial worksheets (similar to those prepared by

the MoE in 2007 which take into consideration the

learning styles of the students). The following items were

gleaned from teachers' remarks, the AMRA course for

the secondary stage and ELT textbooks. The items are

followed by a Guide for Web sites Resources  where

teachers can find relevant explanations, exercises and

remedial materials.
