- What it is
- A teacher's step-by-step guide to running dictation as a pronunciation and listening activity, published in The Language Teacher, the magazine of the Japan Association for Language Teaching.
- How much weight it carries
- Practitioner article, not a study. It describes the procedure and gives no measured results, so use it for how to run the activity only.
Facts taken from this source
- In running dictation, the runner is told to try to remember about five words at a time, and this can vary by level.
“try to remember about five words (this can vary according to level) from the text, and say them to another student who copies them” (Procedure, step 2)
