Consciousness-raising and written error correction for young learners


 Most experts in teaching children state that teaching grammar in the traditional way is inappropriate for children
 under the age of ten. However, very little research has been done on the effectiveness of consciousness-raising (C-R) with young
 learners. An action research (AR) project was conducted in a private language school for children, to investigate if a
 consciousness-raising project would be an effective way to help children notice and correct the ten most commonly made errors they
 made in their writing of weekly book reports. It was concluded that this consciousness-raising project was effective and a
 positive experience for children over the age of ten, but sometimes frustrating and less effective for younger learners. The
 conclusions reached through this action research project led to changes in school policy on error correction, as well as greater
 efforts to educate the parents of the students.
