In his book Mistakes and Correction, Julian Edge (1989:20) says that when we teachers decide to correct our students, "we have to be sure that we are using correction positively to support learning." Probably all foreign language teachers would agree with Edge’s comment, but they would not necessarily agree on how we should correct errors our students make.1 We can see a gradual shift in classroom practice, from the immediate correction of every error in older methods based on behavioral theories of learning (e.g. audio-lingualism) to a more tolerant modern approach. Yet error correction remains one of the most contentious and misunderstood issues in the second and foreign language teaching profession.
