1. Comprehensibility

2. Frequency

When to correct
• On the spot
• Delayed
• Stage of the lesson
• Fluency or Accuracy
Who should do the correcting
• Self-correction

• Peer correction

• Teacher correction
Self Correction
• It is obvious that helping students discover and correct their own
errors not only gives them confidence and motivation, but also helps
them be independent
Peer Correction
• Students are responsible for the learning process

• This correction type is easy to understand for those who commit the
error

• It will result in an increased STT and lower the TTT

• If learners know that they are responsible for correcting errors in the
class, drawing their attention towards the lesson will be easier.
Teacher’s Correction
• Isolate the problem
• Appreciate the correct part
• Teachers should use more positive than negative language in verbal
and written responses. Correction should be done gently and with
respect
• Give the correct form
• The students have to use the correct form (not only approving it)

• Gestures & gimmicks
