If the aircraft is slipping in a turn
- the bank angle is too great.
- the bank angle is too small.
- the nose of the aircraft is positioned too low.
Explanation from PART66Online
A slipping turn is one in which the bank angle is too great for the rate of turn, so the horizontal component of lift is more than the flight path needs and the aircraft slides inward, toward the lower wing. A skidding turn is the opposite case, where the bank angle is too small for the rate of turn and the aircraft slides outward. Where the nose is pointing does not define either condition.

quoting a sentence from the above article "a slip is where the angle of bank is too great for the rate of turn."
