Abstract
English language, because of its peculiar structure and strangeness in certain circumstances, is a hard nut to crack for all the foreign learners. In Arab countries this gigantic issue is not easy to grapple both by learners and teachers. In EFL/ESL classroom set up, majority of teachers often observe a limited number of learners who always keep lagging behind the rest of class. Despite teacher’s leaving no stone unturned, they could not keep pace with the class in a normal manner. These low performing learners cannot be ignored; rather they need and deserve more attention by the teacher. Teachers can instill in them the fervor of learning and they can be made active aspirant to keep pace with the class for getting better results. Their potential cannot be neglected. Their talent is hidden so it needs to be explored. The only thing they lack is lack of fondness and interest and diversion of attention. If these trends can be overcome and their capabilities are properly directed, they can become active learners. Various techniques and tips have been adapted to make them active and interactive participants in the class.
