Here is the ppt we used today in class. Next Saturday, we will see the last two sections.
For the next class you need to:
- Read and resarch about your theme.
- Do a ppt presentation for the class.
- Write a comment about today's class in your engrade.
Have a great week!
Ms. Vicky Treviño
Miss Vicky, here I'll leave the comment and the summary, and the ppt I'll send it to you by hotmail. I can't access my engrade account to post this, I don't know why.
ResponderEliminarsummary: Ch 6.MISTAKES, SLIPS, ERRORS AND ATTEMPTS pg. 96
We can divide mistakes into three categories: slips, errors and attempts. Slips are mistakes that students can correct themselves, once the mistake has been pointed out to them. Errors are mistakes which students can’t correct themselves and they further need explanation. Attempts are mistakes that students make when they try to say something but do not yet know how to say it. The way we give feedback and correct such mistakes will be heavily influenced by which type we think the students are making.
There are many reasons why students make mistakes, whichever kind of mistakes they are. Perhaps they haven’t quite grasped the new information and so continue to make errors. Perhaps their own language gets in the way because the way English expresses an idea or uses a grammatical construction is either very different or tantalizingly similar to how it is done in their first language and as a result, they can make a slip. False friends (words that sound the same but have different meanings) can also cause trouble.
Another “problem” category is often described as developmental errors. These occur naturally as the students’ language knowledge develops, and are the result of the students making apparently sensible assumptions about the way language works. Whatever the reason for the students “getting it wrong”, it is vital for the teacher to realize that all students make mistakes as a natural part of the process of learning. By working out when and why things have gone wrong, students learn more about the language they are studying.
comment: I think studying is an essential habit we must create since we are little because we'll use it forever. There are two approaches, the inductive and deductive, and I like more the inductive one because it makes the students think more and at the time imagine and explore their knowledge.
PD. ppt by mail!
