This episode's topic is so you don't correct every mistake in the same way. Do you know? Think about the purpose off your activity. So if you're doing an accuracy activity, you might want to correct mistakes on the spot and do this quickly without interrupting the flow and get students to correct their own mistakes, if possible. Yeah, because that would help them to learn where the mistake was. And hopefully they don't repeat the same thing. One thing you can do is use a visual method like using your fingers, for example, with a contraction, I might say I would like becomes ID like good, very nice. And this is also good. When the student makes an error, whether is a wood too many in a sentence or one word missing sentence. I am agree. I am agree. I agree, Dan, I agree. Yes, you doing a good job?

Yeah, And if you know your class really well and you know they're not gonna be offended, then you could make a joke about mistakes, particularly ones they make again and again and again. The dramatic, uh, what are you doing that I used to get my students to hit themselves? Not hard. But when they made the same mistake three or four times in the same day, I said, That's it. Give yourself a slap. You've made lots of mistakes that they don't. Your face is going red. And don't forget that. Also, if you have a good relationship with your class, it's a perfect opportunity to get them to peer, correct each other. They can watch each other's backs and support each other in the learning process. Teacher, my father is a strong smoker. Your father is a strong smoker. Anybody? My father is a heavy heavy.
