MOTIVATING STUDENTS THROUGH SELF CORRECTION
Journal Title: Educational Research International - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Providing feedback is an ethical and professional responsibility of the teacher. Students seldom make good use of the feedback and they often repeat the same mistakes in future writing assignments. This paper highlights how students can be encouraged to improve their written work by using “Self Correction” tool proposed by McDonough and Shaw (2003). The findings are based upon a classroom of Business and Technical Writing of BSIS at Punjab University College of Information Technology. The students were asked to correct their mistakes through self correction. The study reveals that the use of Self Correction enhanced the student’s linguistic competence. In addition, students were able to identify specific problems with their written work and this in turn motivated them to revise their work until they were able to produce better quality work.
