Grammar Dictation (Resource Books for Teachers) - Softcover

Grammar Dictation offers an innovative approach to the study of grammar in the language classroom - the 'grammar dictation' or 'dictogloss' procedure. A text is dictated at normal speed, after which students try and reconstruct their own version of the original text. The correction process then enables students to understand their errors and the language options available to them.

Each book in this series provides the classroom teacher with a guide to the practice of key aspects of language teaching, and considers some of the underlying concepts. Introductions presenting important current issues in key areas of language learning are followed by examples and discussions of actual classroom materials and techniques. Designed to help English language students improve their understanding and use of grammar, this work provides an opportunity for learners to use productive grammar in the task of text creation.
