Abstract<\/span><\/strong><\/span>
\nThis article attempts to explore EFL teachers\u2019 behaviours towards their learners when they make errors and mistakes during their learning process. Referring to the expected teacher\u2019s feedback, Long (as cited by Brown, 2001: 290) points out the importance of considering errors and mistakes positively. Beninese EFL teachers do not often take errors and mistakes positively and it is the general habit in Benin which prevents a lot of learners to take the floor and speak in front of their mates for fear of being taunted publicly. Mockery is so particularly frequent in Adjarra area that several learners usually fail in language successful learning. The objective of this study is to sensitise more these EFL teachers to alleviate their way of correcting mistakes in order to encourage Beninese English language learning. The results I have got from EFL teachers, inspectors, and learners reveal mostly that several EFL teachers are not professionally trained. Consequently, they usually frustrate their learners whenever they make errors and mistakes in classes or elsewhere while using the English language. I suggest that they should take into account learners\u2019 personality and encourage them to use English successfully.<\/span>

\nLe pr\u00e9sent article essaye d\u2019explorer les comportements des enseignants de l\u2019anglais, langue \u00e9trang\u00e8re envers leurs apprenants lorsque ces derniers commettent des erreurs et des fautes pendant leur processus d\u2019apprentissage. En faisant recours au feedback de l\u2019enseignant, Long (comme cit\u00e9 par Brown, 2001: 290) signale qu\u2019il est important de consid\u00e9rer les erreurs et fautes positivement. Le plus souvent, les enseignants b\u00e9ninois n\u2019accordent aucune place positive aux erreurs et fautes et c\u2019est g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement leur habitude; ce qui emp\u00eache plusieurs apprenants de prendre la parole et de s\u2019exprimer devant leurs camarades de peur d\u2019\u00eatre d\u00e9nigr\u00e9s publiquement. Les moqueries sont si particuli\u00e8rement fr\u00e9quentes dans la r\u00e9gion d\u2019Adjarra que beaucoup d\u2019apprenants ratent d\u2019habitude l\u2019apprentissage de la langue anglaise. Cette \u00e9tude a pour objectif de sensibiliser davantage les enseignants de l\u2019anglais afin de soulager leur mani\u00e8re de corriger les erreurs et les fautes pour encourager l\u2019apprentissage de la langue anglaise au B\u00e9nin. Les r\u00e9sultats que j\u2019ai obtenus des enseignants, inspecteurs et apprenants de la langue anglaise, r\u00e9v\u00e8lent surtout que plusieurs enseignants d\u2019anglais n\u2019ont pas de dipl\u00f4mes professionnels et ne sont jamais form\u00e9s dans une \u00e9cole normale. Par cons\u00e9quent, ils frustrent d\u2019habitude leurs apprenants quand ils font des erreurs et des fautes en classe ou n\u2019importe o\u00f9 pendant qu\u2019ils utilisent l\u2019anglais. Ma suggestion \u00e0 leur \u00e9gard, c\u2019est de prendre en consid\u00e9ration la personnalit\u00e9 des apprenants et de les encourager \u00e0 utiliser l\u2019anglais avec plein de succ\u00e8s.<\/span>
