План урока: Types of dictation

1. Pupils are busily engaged in producing visual English words simultaneously
across the page in front of them during the activity.
2. Pupils are active after the activity in their self-connection or collaboration
connection phase, providing them with opportunities to learn from peers.
3. Dictation leads to oral communicative activities if the lesson is planned to
dictate an interactive text in which pupils not only write down what they
hear, but also react to it in writing. Following the dictation writing activity,
pupils work in pairs or small groups to compare and discuss their answers
among themselves.
4. The teacher reads out a number of words at normal or very high speed
while pupils help each other to reconstruct the full list of the words and create a story.
5. Dictation is effective with pair dictation or mixed-ability groups and it also
develops individual differences. The most advanced pupils are asked to dictate
the text without help while the less able pupils listen and fill in the various
number of missing words in their provided text. At the end of the lesson, the
advanced pupils explain the text to the less able ones and check the words
they have to fill in.
6. Dictation is one of the few approaches to teaching and learning in the large
group context that has a reasonable chance of engaging pupils in active
language use.
7. Dictation helps classroom management to involve everybody includingthe pupils and the teacher.
8.Dictation gives your students a clear model of pronunciation and allows them to practice their listening and writing skills
9. Dictation gives pupils access to interesting text. Teachers select different
interesting text for pupils other than text from pupils' textbooks, and employ
techniques to increase or decrease the difficulty of the text to match the
interest, needs and ability of their pupils.


-There are 2 main types of dictation ‘ teacher to teacher”, and “learner to learner” one. “Teacher to teacher type is divided in 2 categories independent and collaborative. Independent is considered to be the traditional and is very teacher-centered. Teacher dictates some passage, grammar sentences, phonics ( The material depends on the teacher objectives) and students provide the written record of them.
-Collaborative type means that after teacher dictating, students work in pairs or groups.
-And learner to learner dictation implies pair or group work of students. The role of teacher here is only monitoring or supporting if it is necessary. For my students this approach is most enjoyable and exciting.
Types of dictation:
learner to learner dictation is running dictation- Someone has got a piece of paper where is written a reader , someone’ got a write. Get a pair, in each pair should be one reader and one writer.
Instructions- who is a reader , you run and read sentences only on a green piece of paper, then you come back to your partner .
The writer writes what you say.
-When the reader finishes reading all “green sentences”. You swap the roles, now the writer run and dictates ‘PINK SENTENCES”.
2) One of the collaborative types of dictation is dictogloss.( to write on the board). Dictogloss is less teacher-centered and supposes student’s work in pairs or group. -Listen once(the teacher is dictating a story) and choose the best title for this story. Do not write anything. -Listen twice and write only some notes. Do not write the whole sentences.
