CORRECTING LEARNERS

It´s a way a teacher can check if learners have made an error of use rather than form.

It is a tool that helps the teacher to indicate the types of mistakes a learner has made.

In this technique the teacher repeats what a learner says with raising intonation.

This technique is useful when we do not want to interrumpt learners, but still we want to show them that they have made a mistake.

This show learners where in an utterance they have made a mistake.

A teacher may say: "Are you sure" to indicate that there is a problem. Then the teacher could go on an to provide the correct version.

Is very important to consider our learners´ lenguage level before the theacher make them aware of their mistakes.

Learners must know the correct use of the comma, full stop, etc.

The following is an example of which correcting technique: A student says "I am not of the same opinion as my friend" and the teachers says "Oh, you mean you don´t agree him "

This is a technique which parents use when their young children make lenguage mistakes. They correct the mistake by repeating the utterance correctly, without drawing the child´s attention to the mistake.

Learners correct their own mistakes

Involve learners correcting each other´s mistakes

The teacher draws a time line on the board to show learners the relationship between the use of the verb tense and the time or aspect.
