Corrective Feedback

Techniques, Strategies, and Programs

• student repeats correctly after the
teacher

• students individually or chorally repeat

• teacher gives the student a choice of

two answers (one correct, one wrong)

• teacher pretends not to understand;

student self-corrects

• teacher pretends not to hear; student

self-corrects

• teacher identifies the location of the

error for the student (without telling the
student directly)

• teacher praises correct responses

• teacher provides the rule (i.e.

grammar, pronunciation…); student self-
corrects

• students peer edit or do cooperative

work; give each other feedback

• teacher notes students’ errors for later

individual feedback and/or lesson
development

• teacher develops incentive programs

(individual or collective): marble jar,
English barometer, tally charts, bar
graphs, recording keeping on each
desk…(which includes intrinsic or
extrinsic rewards)
