How to Get Corrections on Your Blog

correctionDo you wish teachers on MyEC would correct your English? Do you wonder why we don't fix ALL of your mistakes? Not all English learners on our club want teachers to suggest corrections. Some English learners come here to practise English in a safe place. On MyEC, we don't want you to feel judged for your written (or spoken) English. You are not getting a mark! You have enough tests, quizzes, and projects that get graded. We all come here from different backgrounds. We all have different skill levels. This is the beauty of MyEC. Also, if I correct ALL of your mistakes you won't learn anything. If I help you correct one problem, you may learn something important.

Do you take part in my monthly writing challenges? Do you wish I would offer more corrections? Instead of correcting your English, I may challenge you (or your blog readers) to correct one sentence or usage error. I won't point out all of your mistakes. I might point out one or two sentences that can be improved. It is up to you to try to make improvements. I might share a link to a grammar or writing lesson on EC. Please check it out. The most important thing is that you are practising English. The more you write, the better your writing will get. This is true for native English speakers as well.

If you want me to suggest corrections, just ask! I'll challenge you. I might use the word English Tip or Bonus Challenge in my comment. Please come back to my writing challenge to tell me if you have tried to make a correction. I might not find your response if you don't. Is your correction in a comment on your own blog? Great! Don't forget to share a link to your correction so that I can see it. You can also send me a direct message.

NEW TAG
Some learners write "Please correct my English" at the end of their blogs or messages. This is great. Let's use a new tag called "corrections". If you want teachers to suggest corrections (or to challenge you) in your blog posts, please use this tag. We will do our best to help you improve.

  • Dear Tara,
    I am a new EC Member.I live and teach English in India and I’ve noticed that most of the people often write “English” with a small “e” i.e english and the word “I” as “i”. They hardly care about use of correct punctuation.I get frustrated and noticed that most of the people pay less importance on all the three points ,you mentioned in your article.
    Thanks a lot.

  • Dear Ms Tara
    I have written my Blog and will be published at 30 October 2010, but I felt that my writing was not good. If you do not mind please correct my English. Thanks a lot
  • thanks so much for your ideal
    i think it's very useful method to improve writing skill, that's worthless if you write down but don't know whether it's right or wrong.
    thanks Tara again, i will remember tag "corrections" in my blog posts.
  • I like the idea of a correction group.
  • Tara
    Suggestion. We could start a group called Correction group.

    Invite teachers ,upper intermediate learners , Native speakers to interact with members who want their blog post or writings checked before posting.
