Self-Correction and the Monitor: Percent of Errors Corrected of Those Attempted vs. Percent Corrected of All Errors Made.

Peer reviewed

Krashen, Stephen D. – System, 1994

Green and Hecht's (1992, 1993) data are consistent with the Monitor hypothesis, and their findings match Krashen's (1982) report: self-correction (SC) has only a modest overall effect. Their subjects' high accuracy of attempted corrections could be the result of subjects' limiting SC to easily correctable items. (Contains 10 references.) (Author)
