“…In addition, the questionnaire included four other correction methods which attempt to elicit self-correction. Some researchers recommend various methods which attempt to elicit self-correction (Holley & King, 1971;Fanselow, 1977;Horner, 1988). However, the results of this study showed that the students had neither positive nor negative preference for some self-correction methods (See Table VII, p. 64).…”

“…As mentioned in the previous section, no agreement exists on whether or not to correct learner errors. Hendrickson (1978) and Horner (1988), for example, give an affirmative answer to this question primarily based on the theoretical argument that error correction facilitates learners' hypothesis testing and their interlanguage development. Allwright (1991) and Sharwood Smith (1991) argue that error correction is useless when it involves a linguistic stage of development that is far beyond the learner's present stage.…”

“…keeping an eye open for puzzled expressions (Fanselow, 1977;Horner, 1988;Sharwood Smith, 1991). Another method to elicit self-correction is a technique in which the teacher repeats the last correct word in the student's utterance, and waits for self-correction (Horner, 1988). Schachter (1981) proposes a set of hand signals for teachers to use in order to alert a student to the presence of an oral error and its type.…”

This review paper is intended to discuss the function, objective and aim of correction as a language strategy in English language learning. In reality, correction is termed as feedback by teachers. Feedback is useful where there is a lack of knowledge, especially the failure of students to use language correctly. Error correction is not an essay and it is should be practiced as instructed by the teacher in a language teaching setting. Error correction is a way to develop competence of language learners in a second or foreign language. It can be used in order to attain conscious knowledge of a second or foreign language, and in learning the language's rules. What is important is that errors in language speech and writing are viewed as having detrimental effects when acquiring a second or foreign language.

“…Corder S. P. (1967) argues that "errors are an integral part of language learning". David Horner (1988) suggests that in language acquisition, corrective feedback is an indispensible component, and correction in itself is normally regarded and well received as it's an essential classroom activity. Even Ellis (2008), who had held a skeptical view towards error correction, later admitted that "errors can show the psychological process of language learning, so they are not completely insignificant."…”
