The behaviour modification techniques that a teacher or instructor can adopt includes.

•  Extinction : Ignoring failures to reinforce “undesirable forms of behaviour or mistakes” by not noticing them.

•  Counter conditioning : “Undesirable form of behaviour or mistakes” leads to an unpleasant experience for the learner. (Punishment, scolding, reprimands, marking mistakes with thick red pencils / pen, condemnation etc.)

•  Learning by imitation : The teacher or instructor is himself a model or provides a behavioural model in some other way.
