Ming @ Agents of Speech explains why direct feedback works better than asking kids to self-correct. Instead of pointing out a mistake and waiting, just give the right answer: if your child says 'you eat the apple,' you say 'you ate the apple.' Some kids need to hear the correction many times before it sticks.
So what is feedback? Feedback means when someone does something wrong. We give feedback, but we don't ask for correction. All right. Let's say that a child says, for instance, uses the wrong tense. So, for instance, he said you eat the apple, something like that eater. And then what you should say instead is, oh, you ate the apple, not eat. And that's it. And the reason why we do this is so that the child hears it. Right. How many times did it take you to change your behavior after someone tells you off? All right. Let's just say, okay. And I give this example a lot because, for example, for me, I learn some things. I require a lot of feedback to. I require a lot of correction as well. But if you correct me every time I get mad.
