Teachers' Priorities in Correcting Learners' Errors in French Immersion Classes. Working Papers on Bilingualism, No. 12.
Chaudron, Craig
Observation and analysis of classroom interaction is used in a pilot study of Grade 8 and 9 French immersion programs to evaluate the relative importance placed by teachers on different student oral behaviors. The frequencies of teachers' corrections for different kinds of students' errors (in second language [L2] skills, subject matter knowledge, and classroom interaction) are seen to correspond in definite ways to the teachers' stated priorities. The learning of lesson content (in Mathematics, Science, History, Geography and French) is not subordinated to L2 acquisition. (Author)
