Hammoud and I met tonight again to cover his writing portion of the ILETS. In the 200 course, one of our first readings was on self edits, and I used some of the information that I hope will help him successfully write and edit his ILETS assignment. Prof. Ramin talked about two kinds of errors, rule and non-rule errors. Hammoud makes only non-rule errors, but the kind that are stigmatizing. It negatively affects the rest of his work when the first sentence has a stigmatizing error in it. So we talked about the kind of errors he makes (past tense irregular verbs seemed to be the most made error) and how the only way to truly correct these errors, memorization. I suggest he read over his corrected and edited writings from CIES and see what errors were the most consistent, and to be sure he look for those types of errors in his assignment. He agreed, and seemed to think it was a good idea that would help.
