An error correction technique that involves students passing corrections to each other across the classroom is called what?

• A. The chain
• B. The loop
• C. The relay
• D. Peer exchange

Answer: (A)

The chain is a peer-correction method where a correction travels from student to student across the classroom. One student spots an error and passes the work to the next person, who checks the correction and then passes it on, creating a continuous flow of feedback. This setup distributes responsibility for checking work, keeps students actively engaged, and helps learners explain why a correction is appropriate since each person reviews and justifies it. It fits best because it describes feedback moving around the room in sequence, rather than just pair work or quick, isolated exchanges.
