why student always make grammar mistakes?

. 1 They are not ready yet

There is a lot of evidence to suggest that language learners, like native speaker children, pick up grammar points and stop making mistakes with them in a very predetermined order. For example, third person s mistakes (I do/ he does) tend to persist in both. If this is the problem (if indeed you think of it as a problem), the only solution is patience!

2. They don't realise it's the same grammar

Although you may be surprised when students who have finally stopped saying "He has to goes" still say "He must goes" because both should be infinitives, it may be that the students consciously or subconsciously don't put the two pieces of grammar together as one. The best solution would be to work on making the points as closely associated in students' heads as possible, e.g. doing a lesson on all uses of infinitives, teaching a very general rule, or even pairing questions up where they have to fill the gaps in pairs of sentences with the same word.

3. They are overloaded

If the students are making elementary errors with something they usually don't, it could be because their brains are busier than usual with other things, e.g. coping with the rules of the language game, digesting the latest language point, sorting out a logic or problem solving puzzle, or concentrating on another point like their pronunciation. Learning to cope with many different demands on the brain at the same time is a good thing, as it is what you need to do with the language in real life, but make sure all language input and correction are left to a time when they can concentrate on the language more.

4. They are overusing one point for good reasons

In both native and non-native speakers, the process of learning a new grammar point seems to often include a period of overextending its use. For example, even people who know the Simple Past well will start using the Past Perfect in situations they would have used (correctly) the Simple Past until the day they studied the new tense . Apart from understanding that this is part of the process and being patient, ways to tackle this could be to give them lots of controlled practice of the new grammar point, come back to the original grammar point they confuse it with a few weeks or months later, and concentrate on correcting one area of confusion at a time.

5. They are having a bad day

Anyone who has ever lived in a foreign country can tell you there are days when all your language skills seem to disappear. Again, this is something they will need to be able to cope with eventually. Apart from trying to take away their tiredness and take their minds of their troubles by giving them something easy to do or doing a physical warmer, maybe the best approach is just to be less demanding on that day. This is also a good opportunity to practice your skills in spotting the difference between little slip ups they would usually get right and are probably best ignored on "one of those days", and things they really don't know that are more worth some correction and explanation.

6. They don't think that grammar point is important

Consciously or subconsciously, native and non-native speakers tend to put a low priority on stopping mistakes with language that does not convey a lot of information- i.e. if they can make that mistake and still be understood putting more effort into it can wait until later. This natural reaction can actually be a sign that they are right and you should move quickly on from the Present Simple to giving them the stacks of vocabulary they will need to reach the next level. There is a chance, though, that they are just missing the way in which they could be misunderstood. The general principle here is to include possible misunderstandings in all error correction. If you can't do so, maybe that is a sign that grammar point can wait until later.

7. That point is more difficult for them than it seems

The reason why students pick up some grammar points more quickly than the teacher expects and others more slowly is often connected to their first language, e.g. confusions between different uses of similar forms or grammatical forms that don't have an equivalent in L1. Even teachers who know the language the students speak can be miss out on particular aspects of this, such as students who speak a particular dialect or different language at home, or grammatical forms that only educated speakers of that language would be familiar with. Responses to this include rearranging the syllabus to leave more difficult points for particular students until later, concentrating on the particular areas of difficulty they have when the time comes, and approaching the same grammar point several different ways with gaps in between to let their subconscious get to work.

8. It's an attempt to be informal

It may be that in the student's native language grammatical forms are dropped when they are speaking informally, in a similar way to "No way!" or "Long time no see" in English. Common examples that students sometimes reproduce in English include dropping the subject or using a different tense. Although this is usually subconscious, it can be reinforced by the language they hear in English pop music and in certain English dialects. Depending on their level, you might be able to do a lesson on substituting these with informal forms we really do use or even doing a whole lesson on the more general grammatical changes between informal speech and formal speech or writing.

9. Accuracy is not their priority

Again, there is a chance they are right on this one and teaching them how to express something they couldn't at all with a new grammatical form, new vocabulary, or new functional language might be better than spending more time trying to root out basic errors. If, however, you think lack of accuracy is the main reason they are not being understood, are not ready for the next level, cannot transfer speaking skills into writing skills or will do badly on a test, it is worth letting them know. Clearly showing what effect mistakes can have on communication with dialogues with communication breakdowns etc can also help.

10. They just have that kind of personality

Just as it is no surprise when some perfectionists become obsessive about getting their sentences right, there are some people whose outgoing nature, slapdash character or hyperactive speaking style just seems to make it difficult for them to stop for a minute and pay attention to what they are saying. Although this is not the only example of a situation when students' language skills could be best improved by them changing their personality, this is no easier to do here than in any other case! Ways to get them to concentrate on accuracy more include making error correction fun with grammar auctions etc, giving them an easy speaking task they only need simple language for and can't get distracted from, and forcing them to slow down to speak to someone who is a lower level (either in reality or by their partner playing that role).

Pre-Graduate Night

Last night I went to Hotel Shuen Ipoh. My bus was the last bus that go at there. After I arrive I saw many people there, most of them take picture at that hotel, so i am.

The event start very late. I think is about 9 p.m. Me and my friend feel so hungry because we don't ate anything before coming to this hotel. I feel no really worth to go there because it very expensive.

For all, the event quite ok. I feel so tired after that event.

I hope I will get a chance to apologies to all lecturers.

I already finish Bel 313 Common Test

Yesterday, I took Bel 313 Common test. My comment is about the test. Actually the comment quite tough if you don't read carefully it will trap you and you will loose mark. For those who not answer yet that test, please master the skill. You will not understand and will not answer the question given clearly if still can't master the critical thinking skill. Honestly some of the question really make me confusing. I don't know it wrong or right. What I need to do is, wait the result in semester break. I hope I score A for that bel. At Least A- . What ever the grade teech give to me. I just accept. I think that's my fault because I not seriously study about this Bel. I think I really work hard for this Bel. I hope my effort to this subject will give the best result..

Hopefully ..

Assignment

After finish assignment Law, now I want to proceed with another two assignment which is quite difficult to me. OB and ETR. and i have another 2 TEst that I need to study. Especially Bel. I hope that I can score good grade for Bel313, I also want get the good grade for Law, it will show me how good I am in memorize that fact. Suitable or not for me to continue study in LAW.

now I want to continue to study BEl and edit assignment law...

1 Week More for Final

Now I realize next week will be the final week for class. Then I will focus more on final. This is because this is my final semester to learn for diploma. After this I will go for practical training that give more challenging to me. What I had learn from semester 1 until semester 5 I will apply it in industrial practical training. My schedule very pack for weekend, on Friday I discuss of Behavior in Organization, Saturday will be discussion for Law, and Sunday will be discuss for Fundamental of Entrepreneurship. This will the busy day ever. I hope I can have time to study Bel 313. This is only chance for me to get A. At least A- hopefully I get best grade for this Bel. My another mission is to explain to all my friend and to help them understanding about this course. I want to help them to get best grade.

For Teech. What I want to say is. Before I meet you, my perception is you is really angry person and very fussy about assignment and giving marks to student. I wonder how he know to psycho students, because his style of teaching is same like my teacher in my previous school. He likes to psycho student to participate in learning. After I make some research on teech, now I know Teech have Certificate in Psychology. That's why he know to use that kind of teaching. It really work for student like me. I really enjoy this course. Thanks to him I became famous from another group because suddenly the people from another group want me to teach them. I don't know what teech said about me to another group. This is because the person who never admonish me before suddenly ask me to teach her.

I think that's all what i want to type. I want to continue study for my test.

Pre-closing for BEL 313

Today 15 of Oct. Just now in my class had Pre-closing for my course bel 313-Introduction of critical thinking. Actually I feel like this course really tough, but I able to finish all the assignment that given. The assignment that I really like is Forum. This is because, forum teach me to apply the critical thinking skill. Critical thinking skill is important to me if I want to be manager, lawyer or lecturer. It will involve critical thinking. After I learnt critical thinking skills, now I able to argue someone opinion and thought. Seriously I not confident to argue someone opinion, but now I feel more confident in arguing. Thank you to my lecturer that teach me how to use this skill. I will apply this skill in my life. learning critical thinking is a gift for me. I feel really lucky when I learnt this course. It will help when I doing my MUET next year. I really hope that will get at least Band 4 for MUET. I want to beat my friend because he got band 5 for MUET. For my future plan, I want to continue my study in Law or in same course. This only the way that I can show to my elder sister that I not stupid and useless that only waste my parents money. I think that's all what I want to say. Next day I will do my common test. I hope I can pass all the subject and be able to doing my practical training next semester.

I think that's all for today.

continue for next day........

Result of my personality TEST

My Personality

Neuroticism

67%
Extraversion

66%
Openness To Experience

61%
Agreeableness

85%
Conscientiousness


You rarely get angry and it takes a lot to make you angry, however you are sensitive about what others think of you. Your concern about rejection and ridicule cause you to feel shy and uncomfortable around others. You are easily embarrassed and often feel ashamed. Your fears that others will criticize or make fun of you are exaggerated and unrealistic, but your awkwardness and discomfort may make these fears a self-fulfilling prophecy. You are not prone to spells of energetic high spirits. You prefer facts over fantasy and are more interested in what is happening in the real word. You find helping other people genuinely rewarding and are generally willing to assist those who are in need. You find that doing things for others is a form of self-fulfillment rather than self-sacrifice, however you are willing to take credit for good things that you do but you don't often talk yourself up much. You have a strong sense of duty and obligation, and feel a moral obligation to do the right thing.

I feel Stress and Tension

I have 2 weeks left before final. This week I have two test and one quiz. Quiz will be this morning 11 a.m. I feel so scare to answer that quiz because, if I still not perform well in that quiz. The lecturer will mad of me. So I need to be more alert about this quiz. This quiz quite hard to memorize because it involve human resource. The last chapter of this quiz learn about human resource that I not really interested to learn that. I still needs to learn this course because It will show how good I am in this program.

FORUM

why i feel so Miserable and I had little bit confusing in this forum. I don't know what I exactly understand. People always like to asking me about something that I not sure. I'm not cleaver in this critical thinking, but I can help people who need help in this critical thinking. This is a critical thinking course so you must think critically. Don't lazy to think because you will regret soon. Critical thinking is fun. You can Manipulate someone opinion by using your fact and understanding. This skill is really important if you want become a leader. I want become leader, so I will no simply accept what people say. I will try to argue about that. People will make a fallacies if don't have any proof and fact. I think I need to master it because my future is hand on it. Learn critical thinking is fun and as gift for me.
