Errors
  • Part of learners interlanguage i.e. the learners’ own version of the second language which they speak as they learn
  • Sometimes errors get fossilised lasting even for ever
  • Can disappear by themselves as the learner learns more language
Errors correction
  • Whether, when and how to correct learners
  • What kind of mistake the learner is making
  • Ignoring mistakes
  • Errors, preventing communication, may be more important to correct than those which do not
  • Different learners need to be corrected in different ways
Ways of helping learners get beyond their errors:
  • Exposing to lots of language that is just beyond learner’s level of linguistic ability through reading or listening
  • Giving opportunities to focus on the form of language through exercises
Ways of helping learners get beyond their errors
  • Reformulation, when the teacher corrects what the student has said by repeating his words correctly without drawing the learner’s attention to the mistake
