1. Watch the Deb Roy TED talk
(0:00 – 11:00 min). When might “error
correction” be taking place and how?

3. Answer
Correction of error is an
important aspect of instruction.
Error correction takes place after
detecting errors in transmitted
messages and reconstructing
the original error-free data.
Correcting learners’ errors is
necessary in order to help them
improve their skills. Teachers and
parents must foster an
environment in the classroom
and at home that is forgiving of
mistakes and encouraging of
risks.

2. Watch the entire video by Dr
Limbacher - Riebold. How do we
process acquisition and learning
differently?

5. Answer
Acquisition is without
conscious efforts. For example, we
acquire our mother tongue, and
any language we may learn in our
early childhood, other than mother
tongue. On the other hand,
learning (a language or anything)
is to make conscious efforts to be
skilled. Learning forces anyone to
make conscious efforts to know
the aspects of a language you may
not understand without being told.

3. Do you teach what you believe? What
do you believe about Communicative
Language Learning and student
success in learning a language?

7. Answer
I believe that teachers in
communicative classroom will find
themselves talking less and
more becoming active facilitators of
their student’s learning. The
students do most of the speaking,
and frequently the scene in a
classroom during a communicative
exercise is active. Due to the
increased responsibility to
participate, learners may find they
gain confidence in using the target
language in general. They are more
responsible managers of their own
learning.
