Marking Schemes in TEFL Correcting Student’s Work in TEFL

In keeping with the notion of maintaining transparency within the classroom environment and demystifying the learning process, it is suggested that marking schemes should be clear and understood by the students.

TEFL Teachers should, for instance: Ensure a consistent system and standard of marking across the board; and Ensure that marking is regular and that both effort and achievement are recognised .

When marking homework, class work and tests, teachers should where possible attempt to mark students relative to their ability within the level rather than use an absolute scale. This enables weaker students to experience success, which is vital to their motivation and development .

A piece of work with teacher’s comments and corrections can be very helpful. It may be a good idea to use correction codes to indicate where an error is and what type of error it is.

This leaves it up to the student to do some work in order to find the corrections for themselves.
