According to the Cambridge Learners Dictionary (2004), correction is the act of showing someone the mistakes in something they have said or written. Within the teaching world, this represents a typical phase among teachers and students when classroom performances take place.

Oral Correction implies the management of the voice to point out inaccuracies shown by learners.

According to Zoltn Dornyei (2001), there are four mechanisms by which goals affect the students performance:
1. They direct attention and effort towards goal-relevant activities at the expense of irrelevant or distracting actions. 2. They regulate the amount of effort people expend so they can adjust their effort to the difficulty level required by the task. 3. They encourage persistence until the goal is accomplished. 4. They promote the search for relevant action plans or task strategies.
