Abstract
“There are many OECF strategies to help the students manage their errors. However, determining the most suitable strategies for everyone can sometimes be challenging. This research project was conducted at a public university in Puebla, Mexico with the principal aim of exploring the perceptions of BA in ELT students about OECF strategies used by their target language teachers. The research questions that guide this study are: RQ1) How do BA in ELT students perceive the OECF strategies used by their target language teachers? RQ2) According to BA in ELT students, which OECF strategies used by their target language teachers are the most useful? What reasons do they give for this? RQ3) What are the positive and negative aspects of their teachers’ OECF strategies? This qualitative research used semistructured interviews to obtain the experiences of 5 participants with OECF strategies used by 16 target language teachers. Data was collected by transcribing each interview, and the participants' descriptions and reasons were categorized accordingly. The results indicated that participants considered OECF strategies important and necessary to avoid future problems such as fossilization. In addition, participants think that using two or more OECF strategies is useful, but it needs to include metalinguistic explanations”.
