Depends on your teaching approach too, might want to try a rewards system and group system or something.
9th graders - 14 and 15 year-olds.

I do lots of pair-share activities every period where partners take turns pronouncing things and asking questions to each other. In a class of 32, that is hard to monitor perfectly, however.

I am going to devise a rewards system, though. "Correction does much, but encouragement everything".
