When dealing with inaccuracies we have to put in mind the idea of fluency, accuracy, and pronunciation.
Mistakes have negative contagion.
Mistakes are levels. As people and as learners we can learn so much from making mistakes.
The Audiolingual method which was built mainly on repetition, habit formation, and was very strict on the notion of the level of learning. The audiolingual school concentrated on immediate language.
Language learning is a cycle. It has ups and downs. It is not liner.
Language learning is a process of development.
The two schools: behaviourism and congnitivism concentrate on the idea of social interaction and learning best asserts and leaves area to making mistakes and having inaccuracies in order to gain confidence and master the language.
As teachers we are supposed to train our students not to correct each other errors.
What are we supposed to correct? the mistakes.
Why ? Because we are supposed to help students learn, and we are supposed to help students reach the objective, because they did not learn the rules.
When? In a learning situation.
Where? In the classroom.
