Running Dictation
readingspeakinglisteningwritingaccuracyfluencypracticepairslow prep10-15 min
One student runs to a posted text, memorises a chunk, runs back and dictates it to a partner.
Procedure
- Post a short text on the wall, away from desks.
- In pairs: the "runner" goes to the text, memorises a phrase.
- Runner returns and dictates the phrase to the "writer."
- Swap roles and continue until the full text is reproduced.
- Pairs compare their version with the original.
Tips
- Longer chunks = better memory training.
- First pair to finish accurately wins.
