Make sure you give positive reinforcement as well, e.g. “Someone said this sentence, and that is really good.” LeedsStudyGroup https://padlet.com/LeedsStudyGroup/uae6738v5yiz47hd/wish/2838942343 2024-01-04 14:39:08 UTC https://padlet.com/LeedsStudyGroup/uae6738v5yiz47hd/wish/2838942343 Raise an eyebrow, tilt your head to one side or give a slight frown. However, most people might do this naturally as a part of normal conversation. In this case, tutors can also add some phrases such as, 'I am sorry'. Tutors can also use their hands (rolling a hand from side to side to mean “so-so attempt”; making a circle by moving their index finger to mean “one more time”; or a cross with fingers, open palms or even forearms to show a very clear “no” or “wrong”- LeedsStudyGroup https://padlet.com/LeedsStudyGroup/uae6738v5yiz47hd/wish/2838945712 2024-01-04 14:42:49 UTC https://padlet.com/LeedsStudyGroup/uae6738v5yiz47hd/wish/2838945712 If you have something on the correct form easily accessible on the whiteboard, in the textbook or on a poster, just pointing at it can be a subtle but clear way of prompting students to use the correct language. What you point at could be the name of the tense or word form they are supposed to be using, a verb forms table or the actual correct verb form, a grammatical explanation, or another grammatical hint such as “future”, “prediction” or “polite”.

The “right version” could mean the whole sentence or just the correction of the part that was wrong.

“Because that is the present simple, you need to add the auxiliary (verb) ‘do’”

“Say the same sentence, but with the comparative form”
