 4. Editing
What do students should
look for when editing for
grammar and language?

• Omission of articles. • Brainstorm common mistakes with them.

• Wrong verbs.
• Wrong verb forms.
• Wrong prepositions.
• Lack of clear punctuation.
• Spelling mistakes
• Capitalization.
• Underline all verbs and prepositions and decide
together if anything should be changed or not.
• For punctuation, read it aloud.
• For vocabulary, underline, for example, days of
the week, family members…
• Peer editing
What do you understand by the term ‘peer editing?

Process of students checking each other’s work. It helps

develop skills in identifying what makes a piece of writing
meaningful or what causes problems of misunderstanding.
Suggesting corrections in their classmates’ work helps
students to recognize errors on their own.
