Seoul KOTESOL February Workshop
Error Correction
Stafford Lumsden
This workshop will look at error correction and is equally applicable to young learners as it is to older ESL students.
It will look at some of the common errors that students make while speaking as well as appropriate techniques for correcting these. It will also discuss when exactly to correct based on the kind of task students are undertaking, i.e. whether the task focuses on accuracy (practice) or fluency (production).
For more practical ideas on error correction see Scrivener, J., (2005)
