Thanks Penny for sharing an interesting topic: error correction. Allow me to share with you what my students and I have done with the error correction practices in our essay writing class. 1. I have encouraged my students to do peer-review as a part of writing cycle before submitting their final drafts. We did that using Google doc. I see this peer-review activities worth doing at least based on the following considerations: a. Learn how to read carefully, with attention to the details of a piece of writing (whether their own or another writer’s); b.

Students are put in groups(of 3-5 students, ideally) and each member of the group takes turns showing the photo while others try to guess what’s in the picture by using Y/N questions. They can either limit the time or the number of the questions asked. At the end, whether their friends can or cannot guess the activity in the ...

Hello everyone!

Hello everyone! I'm Jelena and I come from Serbia. I've been teaching English for about 6 years now and this is something I would like to do for the rest of my life. So far I have taught general and conversational English, preparation for international exams, business English, as well as tailor-made courses. I'd like to get to know some fellow teachers and to improve my knowledge in couple of problematic areas. Nice to meet you all!
