Coding Procedure and Update

I have been detecting and categorizing  the most salient features of my students' speech in terms of accuracy, peer/self correction strategies and the new findings that may become future further research. So far, I have noticed improvement in most of the learners mainly because they have raised awareness on their most concurrent errors and they are starting to refrain them or they are still in the process of correcting them.

The procedure that I am following is to highlight each one of my students' speaking performances according to the five main categories (hits, misses, self-correction, peer-correction and other types of errors to be analyzed in further research). This is what I have been doing so far.
