Tools to Detect and Mitigate Writing Errors in Secondary Schools

<< Objectives >>The CORRIGE project aims to provide secondary school students and their teachers with informal digital tools that can be incorporated into school practice to improve written language performance by reducing writing errors. This reduces the risk of early school leaving and difficulties entering tertiary education or the world of work.<< Implementation >>The activities to implement the project include 1) the creation of a digital Atlas of writing errors and the history of Literacy over time and across peoples; 2) an error Self-Assessment Tool to arrive at the appropriate contingency measures to reduce spelling errors; 3) an e-Booklet narrating the project and explaining the use of the tools with experiences of teachers and students and 4) a multi-channel dissemination and communication campaign to spread the use of the CORRIGE tools.<< Results >>Adopting the informal tools created by CORRIGE will enable secondary school students to implement their school curriculum or professional future by increasing their performance in the basic skill of written language. It will enable teachers to help students recognise written language problems, identify their causes and support them in their mitigation.
