Summary/Abstract: In language teaching, the treatment of errors states a thoughtful fact, which must beimplemented, being a fundamental point of the didactic approach, not an objectivein its own right. In reality, no one can learn a language or produce speeches withoutmaking mistakes. Once taken into account, how then could the teacher treat theseerrors? Isn’t there a perfect opportunity to discover the learning approaches anddifferentiating methods? How should the student understand where and why he ismaking a mistake? And to what extent does this allow him to identify his ownfunctioning? Instead of the teacher just crossing out students’ mistakes with red, hemust try to analyze their values, and determine their origins. But the considerationobviously does not stop there. Students must then become aware of their mistakes.How they committed them, and how they perceive them in their self-correctionefforts. To facilitate this awareness among learners, the teacher must then set upsituations creating socio-cognitive conflicts, by working on metacognition.
