Sažetak
The subject of this paper is students’ mistakes and the teacher as corrector in the EFL classroom. Helping students to learn how to communicate effectively with self-confidence is our objective and we need to detect those mistakes, determine their type and decide what to do. Correction is just one of the important oral functions of the teacher, and we are about to explain two basic stages: showing incorrectness and using correction techniques. There are many problems associated with error correction. Every student wants to improve the accuracy, but not all of them like being corrected. However, most students do want to have some of their mistakes corrected as it gives them a basis for improvement. Our decision of what and when to correct will depend on a number of variables. We attended certain number of each other classes, as well as our colleagues' classes to find out what are the most common techniques that we all use. Alongside, we interviewed our students to discover their opinion, fears and experience about the same matter.Providing feedback may serve not only to let learners know how well they have performed, but also to increase motivation and build a supportive classroom climate. Failure to provide correction may have a damaging effect on the learner’s language development in the long term. On the other hand, providing only negative feedback may have a negative impact on their performance. Finding the balance between these two is a responsible work that we have to face.
