What are the main reasons for correcting students mistakes?
Asking your students to try and correct their own mistake before you help them is a great practice three key reasons:
- It helps students recognise their 'fossilised' errors (mistakes they make without even thinking).
- It helps your students to develop their critical thinking skills.
Why is correcting mistakes important?
We should never just accept mistakes. Every attempt should be made to correct mistakes. The key is to realize what is right and wrong and can be corrected. If you invest in the development process and have the correct elements for success in place, the chance for mistakes will be reduced over time.
Should learners errors be corrected?
Delayed correction is a good way to keep accuracy work student-centered and maintain sensitivity towards your learners. Conclusion: Teacher correcting errors doesn't have to be intrusive or exposing for students. If they expect it as part of your classroom routine, then it can become an inclusive process.
What are the advantages of error analysis?
They may provide insights into the complicated processes of language development as well as a systematic way for identifying, describing and explaining students' errors. Errors may also help to better understand the process of second and foreign language acquisition.
