Error Correction

In the learning process of ESL learners, committing errors and mistakes are indispensable. However,
these terms are often regarded as one or similar to each other. Distinguishing the differences between
these two important terms in second language acquisition will help both the learners and educators to
understand the integral role of error correction in learning a second language.

Error is operationally defined as an unintentional deviation from truth or accuracy while Mistake is
described as a wrong action or statement due to faulty judgment, inadequate knowledge, or
inattention. Therefore, errors are committed because a learner lacks knowledge on a specific concept
whereas mistakes are accidental that a student will be able to self-correct.

Acknowledging these facts, it is essential that an ESL tutor is aware of the nuances of feedback to
enable a learning environment that is free from affective filters.

Providing constructive feedback plays a major role in error correction. Since learners have different
learning styles and levels, there is also a variety of ways that a teacher can correct a student.
Choosing the appropriate method in error correction in consideration to the student’s level would
make learning the language easier.

1. In the article, error and mistake were differentiated as:

 Faulty judgment vs. Unintentional deviation from accuracy
 Inadequate knowledge vs. Inattention

 Unintentional deviation from accuracy vs. Faulty judgment
2. While not explicitly stated, it can be concluded from the article that:
 Errors committed by whatever type of learner can be addressed similarly.
 Errors cannot be corrected because learners are varied.
 Errors can only be corrected if a learner has reached a certain level.
 Errors should be addressed differently according to the student’s level.
3. All sentences are correct, except one.
 Errors and mistakes are inevitable in second language acquisition.
 Learners of the second language commit both error and mistake.
 Error correction is of great value in teaching a second language.
 There is a way to correct a student’s error regardless of his/her level.
4. What can be implied from the statement, "It is essential that an ESL tutor is aware of the
nuances of feedback to enable a learning environment that is free from affective filters."?
 It is important for an ESL tutor to be knowledgeable on the different types of feedback to ensure
that the student will remain interested in learning the language.
