GRAMMAR DICTATION- Resource Books for Teachers

Resource Books for Teachers gives the classroom teacher a guide to the practice of key aspects of language teaching, and considers some of the underlying concepts. In each book an introduction presenting important current issues in the area under consideration is followed by examples and discussion of actual classroom materials and techniques. Grammar Dictation offers an innovative approach to the study of grammar in the language classroom, the dictogloss procedure. This procedure consists of the following stages: - listening: a text is dictated at a speed which allows only key words to be noted - text reconstruction: students pool their resources to reconstruct their own version of the original text - analysis: the correction process enables students to understand their errors and the language options available to them
