The role of error In this TKT chapter some useful visible features about errors were explained, one of them is that errors help students to experiment with the language and noticed what is wrong when they speak or write . And this unit focuses on why leaners make mistakes and actually there are two main reasons.

Practice activities and tasks for language and development This unit taught a lot about the activities and tasks that give opportunities to learners to use the language and develop appropriacy in any skill. also another characteristic of practicing these activities to develop speaking and writing skills with students is that the can be controlled which gives students practice in accuracy and form and allow them to make some mistakes , some example of these can be: Copying words, jazz chants , individual,choral, substitution and transformation drills , freer activities on the contrary to use the language they want, some examples of them are: discussion, problem-solving,sharing, rank ordering , writing emails and compositions and at last we have free tasks (no control) just instructions and here students use the language they know already using role-plays, information-gap activities ,sentence completion , gap-filling an...
