 Unit 3 The Teaching and Learning of EFL

Module 5 Error

TASK

From the errors coming under the classifications G, WO, PR or T which you have identified in the students’ essays in the lesson Self-check, choose one from each category.

Now prepare 4 remedial exercises (one for each of the 4 chosen errors) which will focus on the identified problem areas. Follow the steps outlined in the section 'Preparing remedial exercises' at the end of the module.

Your answer must have five parts:

1. State clearly (a) the category of the error (G, WO, PR, T); (b) the error, and (c) the correction.

For example:
T.
ERROR: I haven’t gone to school yesterday.
CORRECTION: I didn't go to school yesterday.

2. Briefly state the rule which explains why there is an error. For example: “If the time of a past action is stated or implied in the sentence, use past simple. If the time is not stated or implied, use present perfect.”

3. Write clear and simple instructions for the student who has made the error explaining what they need to do in the remedial exercise.

4. Give a worked example, i.e. one question done correctly to reinforce your instructions, and please check carefully that your example follows exactly the rule you have given (i.e. that it is not irregular).

5. Prepare a 5-item exercise for your student.

Do this for each of the four chosen errors: G, WO, PR and T.

Please note that all items within the exercise should be of the same type to avoid confusion, eg it may contain 5 gapped sentences, 5 true/false questions, 5 words to put into the specified form, etc, but that credit will be given for using a different type of exercise for each category of error.
