Make sure to keep us updated on the developments in your classroom. I'm interested to hear how the students respond to strategy-based grammar instruction. Do they miss their quick "fixes?" Hopefully not too much!<br /><br />Regards,<br />BradyBrady Spangenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00648894778162563282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2714518845507850015.post-10776494777495808592009-08-08T04:24:57.219-07:002009-08-08T04:24:57.219-07:00I am a teacher of English as a Foreign Language in...I am a teacher of English as a Foreign Language in Malaysia and I have always encouraged my pupils to come out to the board and write out their sentence constructions before we have peer discussion on their efforts. I believe this will assist them in writing better. <br /><br />But after reading what you wrote: <br /><br />Anyone can "fix" your paper, but if you passively sit by and do not participate in the revision process, chances are you will make that mistake again. Allowing someone else to correct what you did wrong means that you haven't learned anything. You will always need to have that other person's approval to make sure it is "right."<br /><br />I decided you are right. The writer needs to be more active.<br /><br />I am thinking of another way to carry out the activity. That is letting the writer correct his own writing if his peers have decided (with teacher support when necessary) there are errors.<br /><br />Hope this helps them more. Thanks!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04656988962387134788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2714518845507850015.post-13728817594197501082009-08-07T16:21:28.349-07:002009-08-07T16:21:28.349-07:00Best of luck with your new teaching adventures, Br...Best of luck with your new teaching adventures, Brady.
