Self-Monitoring and Correcting Pronunciation
By reading chapter 2 I've came to a conclusion that learning an language and specially English is not always a piece of cake for everyone. Because English language is a very complex language to learn and specially if that person has no prior knowledge about it at all. For most of the ESL students their main goal is to speak English fluently and understanding the language. Now I think for that to happen self-monitoring and correcting are two of the most important factors which come in play.
Pronunciation is a big factor when leaning any language in this case English, but everyone is different and they have different needs and teachers are restricted to do only so much because they can't give attention to every single student in detail and find out there weak and strong points. So I think teachers should prepare all the students well enough that they are able to recognize there own mistakes and able to solve them (and if they need any help in this process then teachers can help them out). By doing this not only they would understand and learn the language effectively but also remember it longer as well. And students can also take help or suggestions from there peers as well, which would make their communication skills better and they would get to know one another. So I think teachers should pay more attention towards developing students self-monitoring skills and also the correcting skills.
