CELTA & TEFL Day 10: Error Correction

Start your CELTA/TEFL journey here: https://integratedskills.mykajabi.com/ This session is dedicated to Error Correction techniques, emphasizing that effective correction requires thinking about the student's task and the type of error. I present a crucial distinction: correcting grammar in a listening comprehension task can "steal a student's success" because they achieved the primary objective. Conversely, correction is essential during accuracy-focused tasks like drilling pronunciation or completing gap-fills. I advise practical, non-judgmental correction techniques like modeling or pointing to the correct structure on a board. 0:00 - Error Correction: Techniques for Your Teaching Toolkit 0:30 - The Principle: Relate Correction to the Task 1:03 - Example: Correcting Grammar During a Listening Task (Stealing Success) 2:02 - On-the-Spot Correction vs. Delayed Correction 2:55 - Pronunciation Drilling: Max Two or Three Corrections
