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.

It's a good idea to have somebody else correcting your English - this way you learn it quickly and effectively. Umm, yeah, I know some people want to find the answer from a book, not consult anyone else.
I expect other people to correct me, too, even though I've been already doing my best to help correct others.
Fantastic! Thank you so much for reminding members of this important point. We all have something to teach each other. I see you had a great teacher's day. Great photos! It is my dream that teachers around the world (like you) will introduce MyEC to their students. Homework is for the birds. Practising English has never been more fun!
Cheers,
Tara
PS-Does anyone know what "for the birds" means?
