영문 초록

Writing is a useful way to develop both fluency and accuracy in language learning. Error correction can be used to promote higher accuracy and language development. Writing, however, seems to have been neglected in our English education because of some constraints including teacher's work load. This paper, therefore, focuses on two principal questions: (1) Should learner errors be corrected? (2) How should learner errors be corrected? In order to answer these questions, the pros and cons about error correction are reviewed first. Then, some main points including a focus on form/content, overall/selective, and direct/indirect correction are discussed. Lastly, it is recommended that teachers should use various selective and indirect methods depending on their situations in order to help students improve their English and to lessen their own work load at the same time.
