MoreMsJackson 2019-04-24T17:55:04 @SueAnnan Hi #ELTchat, really interesting topic tonight!
SueAnnan 2019-04-24T17:55:36 @MarekKiczkowiak We are talking about error correction in ELF tonight on #ELTChat. Come and share your knowledge w… https://t.co/p9gsCHjCmC
SueAnnan 2019-04-24T17:56:14 @MoreMsJackson Great to see you. #ELTchat Yes, an interesting topic to look at

EWorld2019 2019-04-24T18:05:01 @SueAnnan Hello everyone! Looking forward to sharing ideas with all of you #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2019-04-24T18:05:34 Some good points there Elisabeth.I would also add their own L1 to that list #ELTchat
fionaljp 2019-04-24T18:05:44 @EWorld2019 @SueAnnan Hello #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2019-04-24T18:06:09 @fionaljp @EWorld2019 Hi Fi #ELTchat
fionaljp 2019-04-24T18:06:40 @SueAnnan @EWorld2019 Hi Sue #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2019-04-24T18:07:18 The ELF core makes a lot of sense and stops sts from stressing about things that don't really impact communication. #eltchat
ddeubel 2019-04-24T18:09:01 Over my career I've completely reversed my views. No correction unless for affective/motivational reasons. Research… https://t.co/ocOCK2wkpz
SueAnnan 2019-04-24T18:09:47 @ddeubel I agree up to a point. I correct if students ask #eltchat
SueAnnan 2019-04-24T18:11:30 It is surprising how little English you need to make communication work. ELF is helpful, but it depends on what the… https://t.co/JLOsNWoItt
EWorld2019 2019-04-24T18:11:57 @ddeubel I would agree, some mistakes might just be insignificant when dealing with effective communication #ELTchat
MoreMsJackson 2019-04-24T18:12:30 @SueAnnan Yes! Pronunciation especially. There are several things that could be corrected (or not): grammar, vocab… https://t.co/nfwEWU2o5g
ddeubel 2019-04-24T18:13:11 I do think that some students WANT error correction and expect it so that's part of what we have to do .... #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2019-04-24T18:13:15 @MoreMsJackson With my French students it tends to be pronunciation that needs help #ELTchat
fionaljp 2019-04-24T18:14:31 @MoreMsJackson @SueAnnan Agree, pronunciation errors can impede message #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2019-04-24T18:15:33 @fionaljp @MoreMsJackson you ave no idee . Lol #ELTchat

fionaljp 2019-04-24T18:18:36 @ddeubel Good to negotiate #ELTchat and maybe ask them if they can specify what pronunciation areas they feel they need to work on
ddeubel 2019-04-24T18:19:37 Has anyone had success with having students correct each other?  #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2019-04-24T18:19:52 @MoreMsJackson @fionaljp I agree that L1 needs to be taken into consideration. #ELTCHat
ddeubel 2019-04-24T18:20:32 True. But I've often found it the case - most students don't know what they need or want ..... unfortunately.… https://t.co/UNRiekuBlb
MoreMsJackson 2019-04-24T18:21:11 @haannaahmac @EWorld2019 @SueAnnan Great question #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2019-04-24T18:21:16 @ddeubel I haven't had success, but I have had problems, especially if the help is unsolicited #ELTchat

MoreMsJackson 2019-04-24T18:23:35 @ddeubel Yes, plenty, in supportive groups #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2019-04-24T18:23:43 @ddeubel At the moment I have a group of multinationals who all profess to not understand each other. It is driving me insane. #ELTchat
ddeubel 2019-04-24T18:24:22 Also I wonder why most teachers are willing to correct teens/adults but not children???  Why the difference?  #ELTchat

MoreMsJackson 2019-04-24T18:27:09 @ddeubel Really? I correct adults and children, but am more careful about correcting teens #ELTchat

haannaahmac 2019-04-24T18:28:08 @MoreMsJackson @ddeubel Does this normally lend itself more to vocabulary than grammar if we’re talking ELF? #ELTchat
EWorld2019 2019-04-24T18:28:18 @MoreMsJackson @haannaahmac @ddeubel Sounds like a good strategy to me #ELTchat
ddeubel 2019-04-24T18:28:31 @SueAnnan Yes, agree. But I think most assume children will just "pick it up right" later.  #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2019-04-24T18:29:23 @ddeubel you could end up with fossilised errors like that! #ELTchat
ddeubel 2019-04-24T18:30:05 @MoreMsJackson I think some of this happens because we assume a different role/hat as a teacher when teaching different ages.  #ELTchat
MoreMsJackson 2019-04-24T18:31:35 @haannaahmac @ddeubel Yes. I tend to teach lexically anyway, so this fits. #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2019-04-24T18:31:58 I suppose we need to really know the needs of our students before going down the ELF route.  IF we are clear, then… https://t.co/N9IU9iS4z0

EWorld2019 2019-04-24T18:32:31 @MoreMsJackson @ddeubel Yes, teens can lose their motivation very quickly so yes, you kind of have to be rather careful about that! #ELTchat
