Technique:Dictogloss
Teaching aids:
A text(focus on specific grammar item)
mahjong paper
marker pen
Steps
1.Get students to study the text
2.Two days later, teacher reads and students write
3.Tell the students “Today, we are going to do dictogloss”
4.“When I read, I don’t want you to write anything. You only need to listen”(Teacher reads at normal speech)
5.“Now, I am going to read for the second time. I want you to write the notes only.”(Perhaps, they will write Nouns, Verbs or Adjectives) (Weak students may ask you to repeat. You may write difficult words on the board)
6.Get students to sit in group of four. Compare which text is similar to teacher’s text.
7.Get students to reconstruct.
8.Rewrite on the mahjong paper- highlight what they have written.
NOTE: When you get students to put up the mahjong paper with the answers on, you are actually teaching.
It is not just an activity. You will see students’ improvement.
