When
marking writing, some teachers use a correction code to help learners
to correct their own mistakes. This is more helpful than simply
underlining or circling a mistake.
The
idea is that the code indicates the type of
error that the learner has made. Below is an example of a simple
correction code:
|
Code
|
Type
of mistake
|
Example
|
|---|---|---|
|
Sp
|
spelling
|
I
don’t beleive (Sp)
in ghosts.
|
|
P
|
punctuation
|
Im (p)
a student.
|
|
Gr
|
grammar
|
I was
see (Gr)
him yesterday.
|
|
^
|
missing
word
|
This
is ^ good idea.
|
The
learner receives their written work back and can then try to
self-correct, using the code to help. If the learner can’t correct
their own mistakes, then the teacher would provide the answer. Of
course, it is important that learners understand the correction code
you are using!
