Decide on how or when to correct. In some cases, you may have to decide how a situation could have been avoided.
1. You have set up a pair work activity. Your intention is to note down students’ errors and discuss these with the whole class once the activity is over. However, the second pair you come to ask you something related to the language you have presented. Once you’ve dealt with it, the class has finished the activity.
2. It’s the start of the year. You’ve asked a Lower Intermediate group to write a report on a business trip they went on last week. Normally you underline errors in red but you receive a report which is so full of errors it would be all red! What do you do?
