Summary/Abstract: Error correction is an integral component of interaction in the language classroom. Despite heated debates, there is now a consensus that errors should be corrected, a position that finds theoretical, empirical and pedagogical support. This does not mean that all inaccurate utterances should always be corrected, as such intervention should be closely related to the target language forms taught and the aims of a class, and it should also be undertaken in a principled way. The article presents arguments for correction, but also argues that the way in which it is conducted should be adjusted to the type of language task performed, as well as offering guidelines as to how this should most effectively be done.
