How do you correct ‘My sister has got a long hair’? Straightaway or indirectly? Question introduced by @thornburyscott in #iTDi webinar.
There is evidence that corrective feedback helps learners. #iTDi #efl webinar@barbsaka in #iTDI webinar: Young learners can be allowed to make more mistakes in order to be encouraged to be more creative. #efl
What about errors in exam classes, though? Since I teach such classes a lot, I have to be strict & expect Ss’ output to be accurate.#iTDi
Teacher should correct without breaking the flow of the conversation. Ss self-repair without losing the track of the conversation. #iTDi
This is what experienced teachers progressively learn to do: correct Ss on the spot without distracting them. Via @thornburyscott on #iTDi

Morrica: @christina_mark In passing, by using the correct form in my reply@missnoor28 @thornburyscott
Chistina: @Morrica That’s the best way to handle it in my humble opinion, too, Morrica!
Morrica: @christina_mark Allows for the student to learn the correct phrase while keeping face and continuing the conversation at the same time
Christina: @Morrica Exactly! Keeping face is important, as well. All age groups may feel embarrassed after an abrupt correction.
Morrica: @christina_mark So true!
