Abstract

This study analyzes pre-service English Language Education instructors regarding the identification of grammatical errors and collaborative revisions made to argumentative essays. The study encompasses a non-experimental descriptive design based on a sample group of 29 English Education students from a Chilean university. Data was collected using a Likert scale and semi-structured interviews. Qualitative data was analyzed through content analysis techniques which allowed quantitative data to be classified according to categories and subcategories. Results show that there is a positive attitude towards collaborative revision of grammatical errors. According to the opinion of the participating students, collaborative revision of errors promotes autonomy, facilitates learning and contributes to discussion as well as contributes to resolving doubts. The results of this study can be useful for future research conducted within the context of foreign language instruction.
