3. •Do you correct your students'
spoken production?
Poll
A- No – they'll never develop fluency if I do.
B- Yes – mostly on the spot, I repeat what they're saying
with a correct model.
C- Yes – mostly on the spot and I also give them
opportunities to correct themselves.
D- Yes - Delayed feedback on both inaccurate and
successful language use.
6. On the spot correction
Student makes mistake T immediately repeats what
student said accurately.
Student makes mistake T repeats mistake or asks
student to say that sentence
again to encourage
self-correction.
7. Delayed feedback: Option 1
Students are assigned a task.
Students talk.
T monitors unobstrusively
May decide to sit behind
the horse-shoe.
T takes notes of what ss
say (content and
language, both correct
and inaccurate use
of language)
T puts samples of ss'
production on the board,
and ss discuss which are
correct and which need
improvement.
8. Delayed feedback: Option 2
Students are assigned a task.
Students talk.
T uses digital recording,
could be video or just audio.
T watches videos afterwards
and so do students.
An option is to get them to
transcribe exactly what they
said and then get learners to
spot mistakes and reflect on
the bits that were successful.
9. Delayed feedback: Option 3
Students are assigned a task.
Ss complete the task from home, using different
Apps like Spreaker (my favourite).
They can rehearse and add sound effects until they are happy
with their product, which means they'll be monitoring their
language use until they like it.

10. What now?
What do we do with all that feedback?
How do we get learners to remember the mistakes
they commonly make?
What about emergent language, great language that
emerges from tasks? How do we keep records of this?
