“Oh googie…dictation….”


Possibly one of the most misused input/output techniques. The dreaded dictation. How can we move beyond playing a CD or reading and having students just write down what they hear? Oksana Kharley takes us through some useful approaches and techniques for practicing listening and writing that don’t include playing audio a couple of times and then handing out a script. Her ideas can help open up some new avenues for activities that the word and a new way of thinking about “dictation” (eg, does it NEED to include writing?)


Some of these activities come from:


Paul Davis & Mario Rinvolucri. (2006). Dictation. New methods, new possibilities. CUP.
