It examines how authentic materials can enhance language proficiency, promote learner engagement, and foster cultural understanding. Furthermore, it provides practical strategies for effectively integrating authentic materials into ESP instruction.

Language learning strategies have often been taught to ESL students to help them become more effective learners. However, formal strategy instruction has most often been taught to either intermediate or advanced proficiency students, where English can be used easily for communication, or to students with the same language background, where the students' native language can be used. The purpose of this research was to find effective methods for modifying language learning strategy instruction, specifically in reading and vocabulary skills, in order to make it more accessible and usable for lowproficiency high school ESL students when the native language cannot be used for instruction. Fifteen high
school ESL students from varying language backgrounds, who were classified as high beginning English
proficiency, participated in this thirteen-week action research study. Lesson plans, anecdotal records, and
unit self-evaluation forms provided information about how instruction was conducted and how students
responded to it. Pre- and post questionnaires were also used to determine if the instruction was effective. The
results of the study suggest that a number of teaching strategies are helpful for making strategy instruction
accessible and usable for low-proficiency ESL students
Remedial teaching in EFL classrooms involves providing additional support and guidance to students who are struggling with their English language skills. Different approaches can be used to address the individual needs of these students, including differentiated instruction, small group instruction, peer tutoring, scaffolded instruction, multisensory instruction, use of technology, and individualized learning plans. These approaches promote personalized instruction, targeted feedback, and a supportive learning environment, ultimately helping struggling students improve their English language proficiency.
Periodization within developmental psychology involves the segmentation of human growth and maturation into distinct, meaningful phases or stages. This concept is fundamental for comprehending and examining the intricate progression of human development. Currently, the ongoing changes in our country, including the public education system, are focused on educators and all those involved in teaching. The goals include fostering independent thinking and activity in students, as well as instilling strong moral values in them. This entails tackling intricate and weighty responsibilities, such as nurturing their critical thinking, communication skills, reading proficiency, and work aptitude. To effectively address these objectives, it’s imperative to possess not only the theoretical underpinnings of pedagogy, subject-specific teaching methodologies, and a grasp of fundamental aspects of students’ physiology and hygiene, but also a degree of psychological knowledge. Every educator should possess some level of proficiency in psychology, as they interact with a diverse student body of varying ages, each with unique individual traits [11].
