Learning From our MistakesEffective Error Correction
Ask the students how they want to be corrected
52.7% - Teacher should correct33% - Students self correction14% - Peer correction
Students Expectations:
Teacher-to-student correction Creates a teacher-centered
classroom Prevents to notice their mistakes
It can also harm their ability to analyze
why something is wrong It negatively affects confidence It lowers retention
Self Correction Activates their own knowledge Students better remember the right language and
use it... Leads to establishing the right pattern, or habit... Encourages recognition of mistakes; builds confidence; aids retention.
Students' confidence increases with self-correction because they catch and correct their own mistakes. Students may not be able to recognize mistakes;
Peer Correction Corrected by someone who is at their
own level –age, background, etc.
It often helps to create a positive class atmosphere
Students realize teacher is not the only source of error correction
they can learn a lot from one another
Types of Correction: Utterance Repair:Clearly indicating that the student's utterance was incorrect, the teacher provides the correct form. (at the moment)
Pin pointing:The teacher reformulates the student's error, and invites him to correct himself
Request for Clarification:By using phrases like "Excuse me?" or "I don't understand," the teacher indicates that the message contained some kind of mistake Literal Interpretation:It is so hard to accept that it is easier to hypothesize an error
The teacher invites student to reformulate his message
Reformulation:
Reactive Teaching:The teacher clearly communicates student his error The long-winded explanationThe teacher extends his explanation, making reference to grammatical and/or lexical meanings

Nine Simple Ways to Correct Your Students Without Correcting Them……
1.- The StareIf a student answers a question incorrectly or grossly mispronounces a word, fail to respond to him and rather stare blankly or with a raised eyebrow, like you heard no words.
2.- “Is There Another Way to Say That?”Do not tell her she is wrong, but ask if maybe there is another way (with the implication of better way) to answer your question or communicate
3.- “What Word Did We Learn Yesterday?”This question inspires recall of lessons taught, and your student will not think you are correcting her,
4.-“Does Anyone Else Have A Thought?”Do not correct your student, but immediately ask if anyone else has a different answer
5.- “Who Else Thinks That Answer Is Correct?”Turn it around on your students!
6.-“I Do Not Quite Understand You”This phrase indicates that the student is on the right track, but is not quite conveying what he wants to communicate
7.- The RepeatNod in agreement with the student and then repeat what she is trying to say correctly.
8.-Ask Someone ElseIf someone answers incorrectly, just ignore her and ask someone else until you receive the right response!
9.-A Game with RewardsDo not correct wrong answers, but reward the right answer
With a little bit of practice, you can succeed at never correcting your students but always finding the right answer!
