In unit 11 I learnt
that mistakes are often categorized into error
and slips; and those plays an
important and useful part in language learning. That mistakes are an inseparable
part of the learning process. The
main study here is that making mistake is normal when you are acquired a second
language. Because you have your first
language (mother tongue/L1) and it can interfere.
For example in the L1 there are some patterns and grammatical structure that you transfer to L2. Don't worry too much
about perfection. No one in real life cares if you speak perfectly or not well,
only teachers do, if you want to say something just do it. Don’t feel afraid just
take care on not overgeneralized the
words. As teacher we cannot fight all battles at the same time. I know we would
like our students to speak accuracy
each and every time they need to communicate, but this rarely happens. If each
and every time a student opens his / her mouth you will be making corrections,
you will make his / her life miserable. Let them talk for as long as you can
clearly understand the message they are trying to get across. Whenever the
message becomes unclear, time to help them a little bit.

Good!
ResponderEliminarI surely enjoyed reading your reflection. It has lots of information which were brought to my mind while I read it.
The video you shared contains important techniques in order to correct errors. I agree with the techniques since they may be applied in the classroom with my students.
Great!
ResponderEliminarYour comment about this unit is really clear, I like the way how you describe the use of this element that students make in the classroom, I agree with you about the importance and use of this element in the EFL classroom. I found that your links have many information about this topic.
