Error correction

This document discusses mistakes and errors in language learning and techniques for correcting them. It defines a mistake as a temporary error caused by factors like tiredness, while an error occurs due to incomplete knowledge. It notes that students want correction to improve. Various types of errors in writing and speaking are listed, along with common causes. Techniques for correcting written errors include peer review and collective practice of common mistakes. For spoken errors, techniques involve prompting self-correction through intonation and clues or expansion on partial answers before direct teacher correction. An effective correction system should be clear and shared with students.
