Default Re: Correcting mistakes (one-2-one)

I like the self-correction method as well myself. So, the student's paper has like a number in the left, or right, hand margin to illustrate how many mistakes are in the sentence. I then get the student to study a little relevant grammar and come back to the next lesson with a corrected piece of work.

If after some attempts that it is incorrect, I like to write a similar sentence with the correct vocab. and grammar. I then ask the student to write the sentence correctly that she tried and always give the learner the autonomy and motivation to learn at home after class.

Btw, always give the learner their original piece of written work and keep a photocopy Anne to help provide the student with some material to show improvement in writing.
