How to correct mistakes




CONTENTS





INTRODUCTION 2
Aim of the course work.Throughout their studies, students will make lots of mistakes. It is an important part of the learning process. If they are not making mistakes then they are not being given difficult enough topics and structures to work with. You have to choose material that is challenging but manageable for your class and correct mistakes in positive ways. Singling out students who make errors will make students feel self conscious and shy so some tact when correcting mistakes is important. Many EFL teachers spend a lot of time marking students’ written assignments and correcting their spelling, grammatical, punctuation, organization and idea generation errors in detail. The more students make mistakes, the more meticulously they mark and correct mistakes. Despite meticulous error correction, students continue to make the same mistakes over and over again. Teachers’ correction of written assignments does not seem to be effective in reducing students’ errors and enhancing their ability to write correctly and effectively. The present study proposes a model for correcting students’ errors effectively. In this model, students are encouraged to write for communication and not to worry about spelling, grammatical, punctuation or capitalization mistakes. Students do written assignments or part of them in class. While doing the written exercises and writing their paragraphs, the teacher monitors students’ work and provides individual help. She gives communicative feedback that focuses on meaning and highlights only errors related to rules or skills under study in a particular chapter. Feedback is provided on the presence and location of errors, but no correct forms are given. Self-editing and peer-editing are encouraged. Extra credit is given for good paragraphs every time the students write a paragraph in class. 3
