English language learners! I offer line by line corrections in my new student class and my conversation only class! If you've never had line by line corrections before it's extremely helpful to inform the student what specific issues that they are having when they speak. I focus on mouth movement, word choice, pronunciation and sentence structure. So many students know that they're struggling when they speak English but they don't know when they are struggling. Here's actually a line by line correction review that I gave a student (this is being shared with the student's permission). On the left hand side you'll see what I heard him say and the right side is the correction. I type this to the student and show them before the class is over then we talk about each mistake verbally.
