| Summary: | A study investigated college student attitudes toward different classroom techniques for error correction in second language instruction. Subjects were 162 students of Japanese as a second language in seven universities. In the first phase of the study, a smaller group of students at a liberal arts college were observed in class, interviewed, and surveyed. Based on the findings, a mail survey of the larger sample was conducted. Three conclusions resulted: (1) teacher correction of errors is the dominant type; (2) self-correction is perceived as having a different nature than peer or teacher correction; and (3) class status (freshman, sophomore, etc.) and class size are key factors in preference for self-correction or teacher correction of errors.
