An awareness-raising teacher training handbook which invites teachers to examine their own teaching methods and handling of students' mistakes, both oral and written. The book helps teachers answer four basic questions for themselves: should I correct? and, why, when and how? Key areas covered include: mistakes as evidence of learning; language being defective but effective; encouragement of self and peers; and correction and benefits derived from good correction.
