Introduce correction concepts by telling tutors that an important tutoring skill is correcting speech appropriately.
Pull out the concepts written in bold in the handout and talk about how and when to correct speech.
Also state that these concepts can be adapted to tutoring in other skill areas.
If you have more time, ask tutors to give you their opinions on how they like to be corrected.
Conclude this section by reminding tutors that the goal of all of this conversation practice is that the learners will be able handle conversations outside of the tutoring sessions. Samples of conversation work should be included in a portfolio, but the learner’s ability outside of the classroom is what really counts.
