2022-11-16 08:14:33 Error Correction Day

Making mistakes can be one of the most effective ways of learning a new language, as long as you are being corrected in the right way.

In my classes, I spend some time after a speaking activity or at the end of the class correcting mistakes with students. Sometimes the mistake is a slip where you know the mistake and sometimes it is new vocab or grammar you haven't done yet.

For all my classes, I record them so we can keep practising them later on so that you can recognise the mistake and auto-correct yourself.

Today we will go through some mistakes my students are making.

But first I need to ask a question for you guys....... Open / Comment
