Clozing in on oral errors

Glenn T. Gainer

Glenn T.Gainter is a lecturer at Fukuoka University in Japan. He has taught EFL in Japan for over nine years and has co-authored several listing-comprehension textbooks. His major interests are listening and classroom-oriented research.

Correction is provided in the oral language classroom to help learners identify problematic areas, reformulate rules in their minds, and thus speak more accurately. However, many correction techniques seem to frustrate and intimidate rather than enlighten. This article reviews the literature on correction and discusses some of the shortcomings of commonly used correction techniques. ft then goes on to describe how certain features of the cloze procedure can be adapted into a simple correction procedure which is effective in eliciting self- and peer-corrections from students.
