I felt sorry for myself because I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet. Alternatives To Spoken Error CorrectionOther ways to improve accuracy for the many times when simple correction of oral errors isn’t the best way.Written by Alex Case for EnglishClub.comCorrection of spoken errors usually starts with a teacher picking out examples of students pronouncing things in ways that might be difficult to understand, getting the grammar wrong, or using an incorrect word or expression. The teacher then tells the students what they should have said instead or helps them work it out for themselves. Correction can be done by interrupting the student while they are speaking, waiting until they pause (e.g. the end of a sentence), waiting until the whole speaking task is finished or at the end of the whole class. Teachers often write the errors on the board and get students to correct them, but they could also give students individual error correction, e.g. filling in a feedback form to be given to each student after they finish their presentations in front of the class. Other ways of correcting spoken errors include students recording themselves and correcting their own errors, students correcting each other, and students trying to spot errors in a recording or transcript of someone else speaking.Even though it is still a fairly controversial area, most people nowadays agree that error correction can have positive effects if done in the right ways. Those people almost certainly include your students, because all over the world more error correction is one of the most common requests from people studying English. It is always worth thinking about alternatives to error correction, however, because: * Error correction can interfere with students’ fluency * Even if it works, that doesn’t necessarily mean for everyone nor for every kind of language and skill * There are a limited number of error correction techniques and they can quickly get boring for students
