▶️ Drilling is when the class repeats after you. Teachers often do that for pronunciation but drills can do more actually. Why not use them for grammar teaching? There are two ways of doing that:

🔹 Substitution Drills
You give students a sentence to repeat. Let them repeat it several times. Then you say one word that replaces (‘substitutes’) a word in the sentence. The students focus on the new word they have to use but actually practice their grammar.

🔹 Transformation Drills
Again you give students a sentence to repeat several times. Now you tell them to change the sentence to another tense or into a negative sentence or question.

💡You can combine both if the words for substitution require a different grammatical form (e.g. “yesterday” instead of “today”).

💡These drills are techniques used in the Audiolingual Method.

✨ #1 Error Correction: Error Sources ✨

🆕 This series of posts will look into everything that matters when dealing with students’ mistakes.

▶️ Look at the two errors below:

1)  His name John.
2)  He goed to school yesterday.

1️⃣ The student forgot to use ‘to be’ because in his/her mother tongue it is not needed. If students think in their mother tongue they translate their thoughts. But languages are different, so they will make mistakes. This kind of error is called interlingual – between languages.

2️⃣ The student understood the rule that –ed is added for past tense but isn’t aware of exceptions or some details. After all, every foreign language has its difficult sides. Such errors are called intralingual – within a language.

❓Why is this important?
❗️ We cannot correct every error nor should we ignore them. We need to analyse errors to increase our awareness and make better decisions.
