This paper investigates three growing areas in language teaching, namely, induction, the use of concordances, and self-correction. For a class of students at a Thai university, lexical items causing errors in writing were identi®ed, the students made small concordances of the lexical items from the Internet, and they then induced patterns from the concordance to apply in self- correction of their errors. Generally, students were able to induce valid patterns from their self-selected concordances and make valid self-corrections of their errors, and there was a strong correlation between these two abilities. Their ability to induce and self-correct, how- ever, was perhaps a?ected by the part of speech of the lexical items focused on, and their ability to apply the induced patterns in self-correction was in¯uenced by other aspects of the lexical items.
