A comparison between Palestinian efl teachers’ and students’ attitudes toward oral errors and their correction

Abstract EN

The aim of this paper is to report the research results into Palestinian EFL teachers’ and students’ attitudes of oral errors and their correction and the extent to which these attitudes converge or diverge.

To this end, a mixed-methods research design was used.

The quantitative aspect of the study surveyed the attitudes of oral errors and their correction among (102) Palestinian EFL teachers and (397) students in the City of Gaza and produced quantified conclusions, while the qualitative aspect investigated those attitudes among (5) Palestinian EFL teachers and (5) secondary school students (aged between 17 and 18).

In the light of the study findings, the papers concludes by providing some recommendations for all those involved in teaching and learning English in Palestine.
