Categorising learners´ mistakes

This topic is very important at the moment of correcting students because the teacher doesn´t correct students in a traditional way. The teacher is able to detect the learners mistakes according to the type of mistake. In this case we can find the errors and slips. This last one is based on the learners emotions, thoughts and feelings. For that reason, it is relevent that the teacher tries to find the best choices to correct learners in a more educative way.
I have to admit that this topic really interested me because I could learn that there are many strategies to correct students in a more appropriate way to guide students correctly to the acquisition of language but sometimes they are in a beginning level. For example, when they mispronounce a word, the teacher can drill or make repetitions to correct with no using a word "bad" or"it is not good". In other cases in a more pedagogical class, these words are prohibited because these words can affect the learners motivation and it could produce unmotivation but it depends on the attitude of the teacher to correct the learners based on the context. Finally, the learners make interference between the L1 language and the target langauge confusing some similar words that dont have the same meaning in both languages. For that reason, I could know some strategies to correct learners and even there is interactive strategies where the learners correct themselves to make helps and they can learn from their classmates.
Finally, I will be able to apply and improve these strategies in order to guide my English class giving to my students a correct feedback based on the errors focused on punctuations, accuracy, inacuracy  and utterances that are going to help them to develop the language and prevent the developmental errors.
