Keep the original context
Work from a recording made with the learner’s consent, a transcript, or notes that preserve what the learner meant. Check the words against the audio before treating a transcription error as a language error.
Hermit can assist with transcription and speech analysis. The teacher still needs to check whether a correction is accurate, relevant to the learner’s level, and useful for the situation.
Choose a correction the learner can act on
Suppose a learner says “She work every day.” A focused response shows the original sentence, the correction “She works every day,” and a brief explanation of the verb ending. This is an illustrative teaching example, not a quote from a customer.
Ask the learner for a new sentence about someone else’s routine. Later, return to the same pattern in a conversation where they have to choose the form themselves.
Review before sharing
- Check the transcript and the learner’s intended meaning.
- Remove inaccurate or distracting feedback.
- Choose a manageable practice focus and explain why it matters.
- Share the report and a related exercise.
- Look for another use of the pattern in a later session.
Show progress with comparable evidence
A later correct sentence is useful evidence, but it does not prove permanent mastery. Consider whether the learner needed a prompt and whether the task was similar. Keep teacher observations alongside any automated scores.
