Mistake Correction.

Johnson, Keith

ELT Journal, v42 n2 p89-96 Apr 1988

Viewing language learning as another skill acquisition process allows correction to be seen differently. An "error" occurs when knowledge is faulty, a "mistake" when only the performance is faulty. Mistakes can be corrected when (1) the student desires correction; (2) knows what is correct; (3) knows a mistake has occurred; and (4) can repractice. (Author/LMO)
