Encourage students to make errors
Many students may be hampered in their efforts to become fluent by the
fact that they concentrate so ferociously on the accuracy of their syntax.
Especially in some of the Asian countries that I have worked in, students are
afraid of making mistakes because they do not want to "lose face" in front of
their peers. Making errors is therefore a topic that I have had to teach to my
students. To do so, I have used three strategies: (a) explaining native speaker
error patterns, (b) minimizing error correction and (c) treating error making as a
skill that students must master.
