ERROR CORRECTION

...............................are useful when we do not want to interrupt learners, but still want to show them that they have made a slip (without having to say a word).

• ECHO CORRECTION

• GESTURES AND FACIAL EXPRESSIONS

We show one hand to the class and point to each finger in turn as we say each word in the utterance (usually when a student drops a word in a sentence).

• FINGER CORRECTION

• PEER CORRECTION

• REFORMULATING

Teachers correct the mistake by repeating the utterance correctly (without drawing the student’s attention to the mistake). Example, S: I go to the zoo yesterday. T: You went to the zoo yesterday.

• REFORMULATING

Sometimes we do that by rewording a student’s utterance and saying it back to the learner in its improved form. Example, S: I’m not of the same opinion as my friend. T: Oh, you mean you don’t agree with him.
