How to use it well

  1. Write about real life

    Your day, a message to a colleague, a plan for the weekend.

  2. Read the explanations

    Each correction says why. One clear rule is worth more than the corrected text.

  3. Fix and move on

    Your mistakes are saved and come back in practice.

Why it works

Producing language reveals gaps

Researchers found that when learners have to speak or write, they notice what they cannot say yet, and that pushes them to learn it.

Making it yourself helps memory

People remember words and sentences they produced themselves better than ones they only read.

  2. ExperimentBitchener & Knoch, 2010
    Raising the linguistic accuracy level of advanced L2 writers with written corrective feedback

    Journal of Second Language Writing

    What they did
    Advanced learners wrote texts and some received written corrections on their errors.
    What they found
    The corrected writers made fewer of those errors in new texts, and the improvement held weeks later.

    Combined 33 studies in which language learners received corrections on their errors.

The mistake most people make

Writing only what you already know

Do this instead

Safe sentences teach little. Try one sentence that feels slightly too hard.
