• Have a look at slide 5, as we didn’t have time to see it, but there is a link to some ideas for class correction activities provided on the web by ESLSITE.com. Some of them are easy to implement in your class and are bound to be effective.
• Hopefully, soon, we will all have “mistake-free” students !
