BUT: The English Remediation Challenge and the National Picture Remedial classes are courses offered by colleges/universities to address the gaps in math, reading comprehension and writing skills experienced by students enrolled in their institutions. In Del, 42% of public school graduates enrolled in the state’s colleges/universities required at least one remedial course (www.doe.k12.de.us/collegesuccess doe.k12.de.us/cms/lib/DE01922744/Centricity/Domain/91/… | |
| Jun 25 at 16:22 | comment | added | An IELTS Learner | @Lambie I've just had a look at "remedial" and it means "connected with school students who are slower at learning than others". The students in the class I'm talking about aren't necessarily slow, though. | |
| Jun 25 at 15:50 | comment | added | An IELTS Learner | Thanks, everybody. I have to admit that sometimes it's so tempting to add one more sentence to ask another question instead of writing a whole new post and having to wait for 40 minutes (the minimum time gap between two questions) to submit it. But I'll try to resist it next time. | |

| Jun 25 at 15:14 | comment | added | Lambie | take in is not great there: The charity took in lots of homeless people. My mother took in a lost cat. [...]often had x number of students. Please don't ask two-in-one questions. tutoring in US English is not a class, but uses an individual person to help a student. In the UK, it functions in other ways. In the US, we say: Remedial English class, for example. | |
| Jun 25 at 15:11 | comment | added | Andy Bonner | I'm answering "take in" but the use of "tutoring" is unrelated and should be asked separately, with more details about the nature of the class. The short version is there's a reason for you to be concerned but it's probably fine. | |
