Description
The article discusses how second-language speakers correct themselves. Some speakers feel physical sensations when they make mistakes, while others see or hear voices inside their heads. Mario Rinvolucri suggests that language self-correction is a form of self-monitoring and that teachers should encourage students to notice their own language processes and speak about them in order to improve and continue learning.
