Advice from a seasoned teacher

I was telling a friend of mine about my assignment, here are her suggestions-
Methods of correcting errors made by students learning English:
  1. Carry a yard stick during the lesson, when the student makes a language error hit him with the stick.
  2. When the student makes a mistake go off into gales of laughter, encourage his fellow students to do likewise.
  3. While the student is reciting make a list of his incorrect utterances, after he is finished read off all his errors to the class, slowly and painstakingly explaining each one.
This being all in fun of course. (read: "The fun of the course".)  Another fun thing is I get a week extra of summer time as my boss is in Moscow til next week some time!
