Use of full formsUse of contractionsRestricted outputControlled practice Freer practice Keep in mind that some rules might be too difficult to induce from examples. Plus, not all learners are analytic in their learning style. In these cases, a quick explanation of the rule might be better, or at least, more efficient.

(*He cans go)Types of Errors Isolate the trouble spot by repeating what the student said up until and after the error.Give an alternativeGive rules and explanationsPeer –checkingRecast notesIndirect Feedback Avoid checking answers one by oneFocus on problem areas onlyMake it as student-centered as possible (peer-checking, self-checking, students help other students by explaining answers).Some tips for giving feedback
