Lose the Frustration of Error

Great tips. I agree that patience is vital too.

I love your teaching tips and videos. To teach my student how to answer in a sentence, I underline the words from the question that she/he can use to start the sentence.

Great advice, thank you

Great tips. I agree that it is of great importance to be patient and encouraging.

Thank you – great video!

Thank you Teacher Chris- great information.

Was the bad example real?
I liked your tips. Smiling is always important; even when smiling, your tone of voice changes.

Thanks, Chris, for this fantastic video. I always keep it lighthearted and friendly when correcting, and sometimes even get the students to laugh about their own mistakes. I think some laughter is a good way to break the ice and make students feel more at ease.

I think patience is KEY in promoting a positive learning environment and making sure the client feels comfortable and free to express himself. We should make correction feel like a positive observation or an area of opportunity.
