2. first of all, I try not to interrupt the students when they are talking and when the oral activity is over, we comment on basic mistakes they have made and correct them on the board together. Sometimes I also note some of the mistakes from their writings and pass them a handout with them, which they try to correct in pairs.

5. In my opinion, sometimes I don’t correct the mistakes the students make in their writings.I don’t think it’s a new idea, but it works When I hand these out, I have only pointed at the type of mistake they’ve made and they have to self-correct their own writings ( or with the help of a classmate or my hints..). The writings are not marked until they give them back to me with the corrections done. The most recurrent mistakes are often corrected with the whole group, the following class.
