<![CDATA[The process of second language (L2) learning is strongly influenced by the factors of error reconstruction that occur when the language is learned. Errors will definitely appear in the learning process. However, errors can be used as a step to accelerate the process of understanding the language. Doing self-correction (with or without giving cues) is one of the examples. In the aspect of speaking, self-correction is done immediately after the error appears. This study is aimed at finding (i) what speech errors the L2 speakers are able to identify, (ii) of the errors identified, what speech errors the L2 speakers are able to self correct and (iii) whether the self-correction of speech error are able to immediately improve the L2 learning. Based on the data analysis, it was found that the majority identified errors are related to noun (plurality), subject-verb agreement, grammatical structure and pronunciation.. B2 speakers tend to correct errors properly. Of the 78% identified speech errors, as much as 66% errors could be self-corrected accurately by the L2 speakers. Based on the analysis, it was also found that self-correction is able to improve L2 learning ability directly. This is evidenced by the absence of repetition of the same error after the error had been corrected]]>
