Teachers’ and students’ beliefs on grammar instruction and error correction in English as an Additional Language (EAL)

Abstract

L’ensenyament de la gramàtica i la correcció d’errors han desenvolupat durant molts anys un paper important en la majoria de lliçons d’anglès com a llengua addicional. No obstant això, de vegades sorgeixen certes tensions entre com es creu que s’haurien d’introduir i com s’introdueixen realment en la pràctica real. Per tant, aquest estudi té com a objectiu identificar la relació entre les creences dels professors vers l’ensenyament de la gramàtica i la correcció d’errors en aquesta llengua addicional i la seva pràctica real a classe. Addicionalment, prova de contrastar les creences dels professors amb les opinions dels seus alumnes. Els participants van ser quatre professores d’anglès com a llengua addicional en actiu de dues escoles de Catalunya, així com 210 alumnes d’aquests centres. Els professors van ser entrevistats sobre les seves creences i posteriorment observats mentre eren a classe. Les entrevistes tenien com a objectiu investigar els motius pels quals es decidia com introduir i posar en pràctica els nous conceptes. Les observacions van fer possible veure com ensenyaven la gramàtica i corregien els errors dels seus alumnes, així com les possibles tensions entre les creences que esmenten i les seves pràctiques. Els alumnes van participar en una enquesta en la qual van poder compartir el seu punt de vista en relació amb l’ensenyament de la gramàtica i la correcció d’errors.

Grammar instruction and error correction have played for many years a major role in most English as an Additional Language (EAL) lessons. Nevertheless, there are sometimes tensions between how it is thought that they should be dealt with and how they actually are in real practice. Thus, this research aims at identifying the connection between teachers’ beliefs on grammar instruction and error correction in this additional language and their in-class practices. It also intends to contrast the teachers’ beliefs with their students’ own opinions. The participants were four practising EAL teachers from two different schools in Catalonia, as well as 210 students of those schools. The teachers were interviewed on their beliefs and they were later observed while they were in class. The interviews tried to investigate the rationale behind the decisions on how to introduce and practise the new concepts. The observations provided insights on how they taught grammar and corrected errors made by students, as well as possible tensions between their stated beliefs and their practices. The students participated in a survey in which they could share their views on grammar instruction and error correction.
