Hello Everybody from Algeria, North Africa.

Hello Everybody from Algeria, North Africa.
So nice to read about you all.
I am a high school teacher of English. I have been teaching English Language Arts to teenagers for 15 years now, I live an work in the west of Algeria, Oran, a seaside town .
My school is very special since it is in my neighbourhood and it is where I studied when I was a teenager.
I am used to working with teachers from different parts of the world both online and face to face. So , I am excited to learn with you and share and exchange our experience while learning to teach better.
Teaching is a noble mission and I believe we all have the same challenges, problems and endeavour.

Best of luck for everybody in this course.

For error correction I tend to use the most frequent type of correction, recast.

For error correction I tend to use the most frequent type of correction, recast. I believe I use it because it's quick and doesn't harm fluency and communication entirely. But like Penny Ur mentioned, this type of correction all the time may be ineffective and may I add fall on deaf ears most of the times. Research shows that the best correction methods are elicitation, metalinguistic feedback and explicit correction so I feel I need to use more of these methods when correcting my students. Also, sometimes I let errors go by uncorrected mostly because I consider them minor or unimportant errors but there are times when students notice them and correct them. Perhaps it's best the teacher corrects all errors and not the students because it could come across as if the teacher wasn't listening or doesn't care and because learners would rather be corrected by the their teacher than their peers as research shows.
