Learning problems detection in EFL students from colombian schools.

Abstract

At some point in their teaching work teachers of English as a foreign language have met certain students who have particular characteristics in their behavior, which may be the result of emotional problems, difficulties at home or could even be evidence of the struggle against depression, however, it is not common for teachers to think of learning difficulties as one of the main causes of a student's poor academic performance in any subject including English. For example, a student might have a specific learning difficulty that neither he nor his parents are aware of, for EFL teachers it should be important to learn the main aspects related to problems or learning difficulties in order to pay attention to the needs of your students If teachers are aware of the different learning difficulties that could affect the development of some aspect of their students, teachers would be able to detect learning difficulties manifested in their students to understand their needs and provide them with the necessary professional help.
