Abstract

It has been just over a decade since the publication of Lyster and Ranta’s critical articles on error correction. Since then, there have been numerous publications in this area of classroom based Second Language Acquisition research. Lyster and Ranta (1997) and Lyster (1998b) found that recasts are the most common, but least effective, form of oral error correction employed by foreign language teachers. Further, Lyster and Ranta concluded that students often fail to notice recasts by confusing them with a repetition or affirmation of their own utterances. This study will explore the preferences of oral error correction techniques among Intermediate English Students from the Extension Courses at CENIUES, at the University of El Salvador. The following will serve as guiding questions: 1. what are students´ preferences in oral error correction in EFL classroom? 2. Which error correction techniques are preferred among students? Those questions are supported with numerous sources.Key words: error, error-correction techniques, communicative competence, uptake, second language acquisition.
