(personal experience, workshop, observation, etc)
During language lessons, teachers often discover students’ mistakes. Research said direct revision is not good for language learners, because it makes learners unconfident. When it comes to teaching English especially for elementary students, keeping them motivated and confident are the key points. Through this lesson, We try to focus on fluency as well as accuracy. There are two ways of teaching grammar. Giving feedback to the students directly, explicitly and indirectly, implicitly. Both have good and bad effects. If we address the issue directly then It can hinder student’s confidence and cut the natural flow. But Student’s notice what is wrong and how to fix it. If we give feedback implicitly, then student’s can still focus on their work, but some of the students might not notice the errors. We’ve thought about how to fix their mistakes not explicitly in a good way and found out one fun and proper way of feedback by the teacher's training course. This is simple and fun for students as well as teachers. We don’t need to spend our efforts to prepare lessons.
* Language Skills Targeted: Reading , Writing
* Objective : Students can recognize their mistakes naturally and fix them with pleasure and ease.
* Materials/Tools Needed : worksheet
* Challenges
1) Every member in each group has numbers.
2) Number1 students in each group go to the worksheets and tear out one sentence strip from the
worksheet and go back to their own group.
3) Every group member finds the mistake in the sentence and fixes it together.
(Every sentence in the worksheet has 1 or 2 mistakes.)
4) Number 1 students go to the teacher and check the answers.
5) If the answer is correct, Number 2 student takes a turn.
If the answer is wrong, number 1 student should go to the own group and try the same steps till the answer is correct.
6) The group finishing fixing all mistakes first will be the winner. 
* Benefits
1) Students can fix mistakes with fun and ease.
2) Students can speak and read aloud the target words repeatedly and naturally.
3) Teachers can prepare materials easily.
* Extensions
: We can apply it to learning phrases and simple target sentences.
