I do use most of them but I don’t get the chance to use ‘finger correction’ very often. That said, I’m definitely going to try gap correction - something new. Can you please also do one on Feedback session. What I usually do is take notes of examples of good English and not so good English on my phone while they are doing activity, and board or put them on the screen and let them figure out which is good and bad. Another thing is, when checking answers I intentionally display some answers wrong and let them work together and figure out which answers are wrong. Is there anything else? Can you recommend a book for this as well? To vary feedback session Thanks a lot.
Hi Hojimurod. Yeah, finger correction isn't one I use too often to be honest. I did make quite a long video on feedback with my friend Mathew - look for my talking ELT videos. Generally, I try to avoid showing bad examples of language as I believe that can actually serve to reinforce errors. I think it's fine to show factually erroneous sentences or the wrong answers to a task if they do not mean showing incorrect language. You can also give gapped sentences on slips of paper for individual students or pairs to correct, or you could even give the correct sentences to groups of students and have them gap them for other groups. If you have written work to correct, a nice idea is to record someone else reading it and have them give their opinion on it. You could equally (with the students' consent) record them speaking and get other people (maybe another class) to listen and give their opinion. If you record this feedback, you can play it back to the original class. I don't know if there is a book with all these ideas in it. I'll have to add it to my list of things to write. :)
@@AlexWallsELT Ohh, I really liked the idea of groups creating gapped sentences for other groups. Honestly, this never crossed my mind. I will definitely try this next semester at uni :) Thanks for the advice. Keep up the good work. We really want to interact and make your tg channel and YT channel more active but with colleagues we have so much to do at uni and on top of that we have DELTA 1 and 2 ahead of us. I can, with confidence, say that we are your active 'listeners'.
fantastic. thank you
Glad you liked it!
