Read the statements below and choose the one which you agree with most.
WHAT ARE MISTAKES AND HOW TO DEAL WITH THEM?
1. Mistakes are like diseases or viruses – they should be prevented, if possible. If this is not possible, then a teacher, like a doctor, should diagnose the disease and prescribe the appropriate medicine.
2. Mistakes are the signs of students’ poor work during the lessons or at home. Students who make mistakes should therefore be punished and made to work harder.
3. Mistakes are unavoidable in learning a language and should be ignored – with time and practice they will take care of themselves.
4. Mistakes are just wrong and the teacher should immediately correct them before they happen again.
5. Mistakes are learning steps and the teacher should help students to deal with and learn from their mistakes.
