Do you wish teachers on MyEC would correct your English? Do you wonder why we don't fix ALL of your mistakes? Not all English learners on our club want teachers to suggest corrections. Some English learners come here to practise English in a safe place. On MyEC, we don't want you to feel judged for your written (or spoken) English. You are not getting a mark! You have enough tests, quizzes, and projects that get graded. We all come here from different backgrounds. We all have different skill levels. This is the beauty of MyEC. Also, if I correct ALL of your mistakes you won't learn anything. If I help you correct one problem, you may learn something important.
Do you take part in my monthly writing challenges? Do you wish I would offer more corrections? Instead of correcting your English, I may challenge you (or your blog readers) to correct one sentence or usage error. I won't point out all of your mistakes. I might point out one or two sentences that can be improved. It is up to you to try to make improvements. I might share a link to a grammar or writing lesson on EC. Please check it out. The most important thing is that you are practising English. The more you write, the better your writing will get. This is true for native English speakers as well.
If you want me to suggest corrections, just ask! I'll challenge you. I might use the word English Tip or Bonus Challenge in my comment. Please come back to my writing challenge to tell me if you have tried to make a correction. I might not find your response if you don't. Is your correction in a comment on your own blog? Great! Don't forget to share a link to your correction so that I can see it. You can also send me a direct message.
NEW TAG
Some learners write "Please correct my English" at the end of their blogs or messages. This is great. Let's use a new tag called "corrections". If you want teachers to suggest corrections (or to challenge you) in your blog posts, please use this tag. We will do our best to help you improve.

The difference between MyEC and class is that this is a place to practise. Unfortunately I don't have time to read every blog. I hope this post does not give any of you unrealistic expectations. I will do my best, but I need your help. You all need to work together. If you are an advanced learner or a teacher and you see a blog that requests corrections, try to respond. Highlight one word or sentence that can be improved. Intermediate learners can help beginners. This is your club. It is not a "class". Have fun with the language!
Thanks,Tara
