Welcome to our first newsletter of 2025.
|
This week we’ve created 6 error correction worksheets, and we’ve included 1 free lesson for you to try. Each worksheet focuses on one discrete item / aspect of the error correction code and are embedded in a range of interesting topics.

What are error correction worksheets?
|
These worksheets are designed to provide students with practice on identifying common errors, so they are able to understand the teacher’s feedback as well as develop the skills required to edit their own writing. Each worksheet follows a particular theme (Abstract Art, Citizen Journalism, Ethics in Advertising, Food security, Life on Other Planets and Study Abroad Programmes) as well as a specific focus area (word forms, missing words, tenses, articles, prepositions and relative clauses). The worksheets include discussion questions, sentence- and paragraph level practice along with differentiated worksheets for different abilities and teacher’s notes and answer key.

Error Correction Lessons

|
Error Correction Lesson
|
These are a selection of lessons that focus on one specific error (prepositions, articles, tenses, wrong word, relative clauses, etc..) in a short academic text.
|
There are two text options for these lessons.
|
- Option 1 (Worksheet 1): This is a scaffolded approach in that the text contains the word form (WF) code within the article, so the students know exactly where each error is.
- Option 2 (Worksheet 2): This is an un-scaffolded approach in that the text does not contain the word form (WF) code within the article, so the students will have to conduct a closer analysis to find the errors.
