Correction and assessment
Self-correction

Get students to keep an 'X-FILE' of the mistakes they make in their written work with a corresponding correction.

Example:

Mistake/Correction

He don't like ice-cream/He doesn't like ice cream

I go to the playground yesterday/I went to the play ground yesterday

Check the this from time to time and point out if they are repeating the same mistakes again and again.

Peer correction

Set students some written work and after they have completed the first draft ask them to work in pairs and see if they can spot any mistakes in their partner's work.

Self-assessment

If your school gives out student reports ask the students to complete a copy of the report beforehand. Typical reports have categories such as progress in listening, reading, writing, speaking, homework and participation in class. Compare their report with the one you have written, any differences can be discussed with the student.

'Can do' statements.

These are increasingly being used with primary students. After completing a topic the learners decide whether they can do certain things:

Name 6 animals

Count to 10

If the learner can successfully name 6 animals they might tick (v) the statement or draw a smiley face.
