Classmate’s       Comment



Unit 11: Post-Secondary: Young Adults and Adults 


I would like to say something about Jorge’s comment, I agree that adults are more responsible that other learners, because they have extra motivation to do that, for example to get a degree, or a better salary, etc. Also, I consider that teacher promote social practice and Interactive Approach, because the students have the opportunity interact with the others classmates and teacher as well.


Now, I would like to try to answer Jorge’s question that is:    

Is important to correct pronunciation when adults are developing an oral task?


I think it is important to correct students’ pronunciation or any mistake that they have, but not when they are developing the task. I consider that is necessary that they complete the activity, and at the end the teacher should correct the mistake. I think it is not a good idea to interrupt them when they are developing an oral activity. In the video the teacher says that she takes notes about the students’ oral presentation I agree with her.

I consider when learner finishes his presentation the teacher should correct his mistakes. I also think that educator could use the sandwich technique that we learned in class. First say something positive, and then say the mistakes or something that students have to correct, and finally say other positive aspect about students’ presentation.
