Personalised dictation
Shared by Krystyna
- Most of us think of dictation as the boring blast from the past but there are ways of making it a little bit more interesting.
Procedure
- Before you introduce a reading passage to students, ask them to keep their books closed.
- Dictate statements you have prepared and extracted from the text you are going to read in class later.
- Students should order the statements under three headings: I agree, I partly agree, I disagree (completely), or just tick the ones they agree with. Writing is good practice and gives time for thought, apart form the fact that hand-written language looks and makes it more personal to “work” with.
- In pairs or small groups, students express and compare their opinion referring to the individual statements. If time permits, they finally report back to the class.
