It is hard enough to get EFL students to practice speaking and writing without adding barriers. While it’s easy to make mistakes when learning new words, grammar, sentence structure, and pronunciation, it’s important to correct your students’ errors effectively, and at the same time sensitively. This will help them grow and develop their language skills and feel at the same time undeterred. Try correcting them in disguise with positive re-enforcers or a more passive style. It might not come naturally to you at first, but with a little practice, you will never tell a student she is wrong again!
