Abstract
ESL learners need to master oral language because it is one of the most important skills for social
and academic success, so they committed errors, and language teachers' responsibility is to correct
these errors in class. The study tries to investigate the ESL learners’ attitudes towards error
correction in speaking skills. To fulfill the aim of the study; the researcher used two instruments to
evaluate the errors correction. A questionnaire was designed with 15 items and distributed to 40
participants to investigated students' attitudes toward error corrections in-class speaking followed
by classroom observation to record the error and errors correction made by the teacher. The
statistical analyses showed that the students have positive attitudes toward students' correction of
errors. Finally, it is recommended that English teachers should apply suitable methods and
techniques to grant oral error corrective feedback to the students for it can help them in improving
their English speaking skills.
