Error Classification

Pronunciation
which are made when speaking.

Juice, maybe not so common but Ive hear them say yius, so I tried to relate this word with fruit in which the sound of iu is more like an oo

correcting pronunciation has been a bit more complicated for me, because the students with whom I can do my practices do not have any knowledge of phonetics so I have to compare the sounds with those of other words

Wednesday This word is one of the most commonly used in class, and it is almost always tried to say the D, so every time it is Wednesday it is better to remind them that it is wenzdei

Discourse
these types of errors have to do with lack of correction in the organization and linking of texts.
Grammar
these errors are related to structures.

One of the most common error is putting the adjetive after the noun as in Spanish, for this error using the fingers to point the words that are interchanged and signals as crossing the arms to show that they should be interchanged, is one of the easiest way to correct

I don't have much teaching experience, but since I saw this way of correcting the order of words being used by the head teacher of the group to which I have access, it seemed practical and easy to understand.

Lexical
they refer to wrong lexical choices for the meaning intended by the learner.

You're and your the confusion of these two and its significance is common, sometimes it apears also in the speakin, my choice to correct is make a joke, by example you're car, ask are you a car?

I think this is a fun way to remind them that it is wrong and to get them to think in the right way.
