- Abstract
The purpose of this study is to develop teaching materials for underachievers in elementary English education. According to Seoul metropolitan office of education (2011), the rate of underachievement has increased sharply when students go from primar to secondary school. Therefore, it is necessary to systematically teach underachievers when they are in elementary school. In order to develop teaching materials, a meta-analysis of the previous studies was conducted in the areas of underachievers' characteristics and reasons, teaching ways, learning strategies and teaching contents. Moreover, a questionnaire survey for analyzing teachers' needs on teaching materials was conducted to elementary school teachers. These results were used as a foundation to design the teaching materials. The major research findings are as follows: First, the developed teaching materials are expected to help teachers to teach underachievers with practical materials in the English elementary classroom. Second, the suggested directions for developing teaching materials can guide teachers to develop their own teaching materials for underachievers. Third, the integrated results of meta-analysis of the previous studies on teaching underachievers help teachers to understand underachievers better and thus construct effective teaching strategies, teaching methods, and teaching contents.
