The Error Analysis Chart

The error analysis chart really helps me in order to identify what were my mistakes, I have to say, that I feel a little bit embarrassed because I made a really basics mistakes or misspelled a word. However, it is helpful in order to be more awareness about our grammar mistakes.


We are humans, so we make mistakes, but it is good to try to fix them in order to learn about those mistakes. As future teachers, we are going to make a lot of mistakes in our professional life, but it does not mean that we have to be comfortable with that; we need to improve our mistakes, in order to give to our students the best version of us.

  1. Hello Adonay, while reading your blog entry I realized about the emphasis that you made by saying: "As future teachers, we are going to make a lot of mistakes in our professional life, but it does not mean that we have to be comfortable with that; we need to improve our mistakes, in order to give to our students the best version of us." and that is true, we as teachers must be aware about our mistakes and we have to learn from them. By reading your chart I read that you present your mistakes and the explanation on where they were, and we are clear that those are "mistakes" and not "errors" because you have the knowledge about every single thing, you just let them pass, and I think that that is the main purpose of this activity, correct ourself and check which incorrect utterances we might comit, and why we are commiting them. Nice entry colleage.
