Barry Cusack's presntation
Barry Cusack's presntation was great indeed.Error correction is being looked at from a different angle. It is a kind of activity where learners get involved realizing weak spots without any kind of stress or strain.The error sheet, the correction symbols,and the peer work are extremely handy and I am sure that many teachers around the world would find it useful.The detailed presentation with detailed inputs and step by step analysis deserves special praise.
