Running dictation is a great way to activate a tired class.Dictation activities also promote the
conscious learning of structures. Students performing dictation exercises are generally required
to transcribe the text as accurately as possible, and follow up work usually involves various
kinds of coretion activities which focus directly on form. Running dictation is an accomplished
task involving listening, speaking, reading, and writing. It is easy to prepare and practice. There
are some steps of doing running dictation.
