Abstract

The term ‘diagnostic teaching’ as used by Lerner is discussed. Most published material using this strategy concentrates on pupils and teachers in elementary schools. But diagnostic teaching procedures are possible in secondary schools and this paper presents an example of such teaching in a Year 9 English class. The particular girl in the study had a listening problem. One year of carefully structured teaching could not eliminate the years of failure that preceded this teaching, but sufficient progress was recorded to illustrate the value and possibilities of diagnostic teaching at the secondary level.
