¿Corregir, revisar, comentar? Implicancias de renombrar una práctica docente,

Abstract

"I have to correct lots of homework" is an everyday phrase heard by language teachers to describe a practice considered part of their work, usually described as compulsory or routinary. The educational proposals that circulated in the last decades in this field try to replace the term "correction" by others, perhaps less burdened with the feeling of discomfort associated with a routinary obligation. We want to reflect here on correction as a practice and ask ourselves about the scope of the name change, because, as we know, renaming a practice does not imply modifying it, but actually: Is it necessary to modify it? Finally, does the name change imply, for the language teacher, the option to stop correcting?
