Abstract

The concepts of error and error correction have been considered a focus of attention in the teaching and learning of a second language (L2). One of the main goals in L2 teaching and learning research is to identify error-causing factors in student written productions. The identification of these factors is therefore becoming an essential part of professional teaching competence. As a consequence, the responsible academic institutions for teacher training must provide teachers the necessary training on error correction and feedback. In this paper we intend to conduct a theoretical review around the three components of professional teaching competence:  knowledge, skills and attitudes of L2 teachers regarding error and error correction in written productions.
