Unprivileged learners in the context of English Language Teaching (ELT) refer to students who come from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds, marginalized communities, or environments that do not provide sufficient educational support. Understanding their characteristics is crucial for designing effective teaching strategies that cater to their specific needs. These learners often face multiple barriers—economic, social, and cultural—that directly influence their learning experiences, motivation, and outcomes in acquiring the English language. One of the most prominent characteristics of unprivileged learners is limited exposure to the English language. Many of these students come from households or communities where English is not commonly used, making it a foreign language rather than a second language. This lack of immersion results in poor listening and speaking skills, limited vocabulary, and challenges in understanding grammatical structures. Unlike their privileged peers who may have access to English media, books, or even interactive technological tools, unprivileged learners often rely solely on classroom instruction for language exposure, which may be insufficient for holistic development. Another significant characteristic is low literacy and foundational skills. Often, these learners struggle with reading and writing in their first language, which directly affects their ability to grasp English. They may have inconsistent schooling, frequent absences, or interruptions in learning due to financial or family pressures.

In classrooms, teachers may notice slow reading speeds, difficulty in comprehension, and poor writing skills among such learners. This emphasizes the need for differentiated instruction and scaffolding strategies to gradually build their language competence. Motivation and attitude toward learning also reflect the conditions of unprivileged learners. Many of these students experience a sense of inferiority or low self-confidence because they
