2 thoughts on “Setting Up Dictée”
I was thinking about dictee and thinking of a twist on it. So what we do is we say the sentence/passage/text slowly one time. Students simply listen and copy down what they hear. Then the second time we say it they draw what they hear. Then we give them maybe 5 min after to finish their drawings. Then we say it a third time to edit their drawings/chopped text. Finally they translate it to L1. My thought is that if we delay translation, it will help them create the movie in their head. Also we would encourage them to read what they copied down and look at their drawings to help them translate the entire text. I am going to try this in my classes this year. If someone has already done this then please let me know how it turned out.
I like this idea/spin on the traditional dictee for the lower levels especially!
