Copying applies equally well to the phrase pattern and the sentence pattern with 
the same purpose to help the memory, for students should not be asked to write, at 
least in the first two years, anything that they do not already know thoroughly 
through speech and reading. Every new word, phrase or sentence pattern, after it has 
been thoroughly learnt, should be practised by copying. 
Copying may be carried out both in class and at home. 
In copying at home the students must be given some additional task preventing 
them from performing the work mechanically. The following tasks may be suggested: 
(a) underline a given letter or letter combination for a certain sound; 
(b) underline a certain grammar item; 
(c) underline certain words depicting, for example, the names of school things. 
The additional work the pupil must perform in copying a text or an exercise 
makes him pay attention to the sound and meaning of the words. This kind of copying 
is a good way of ensuring the retention of the material. It must be extensively applied 
in the junior and in the intermediate stages. 
3. Exercises for developing writing skills.
Dictation. This kind of writing exercise is much more difficult than copying. 
Some methodologists think that it should never be given as a test to young beginners. 
“It is a means of fixing of what is already known, not a puzzle in which the teacher 
tries to defeat the pupil” (F. French). Dictation is a valuable exercise because it trains 
the ear and the hand as well as the eye: it fixes in the student’s mind the division of 
each sentence pattern, because the teacher dictates division by division. For example, 
Tom and I / go to school / together
Dictations can vary in forms and in the way they are conducted: 
Visual dictation as a type of written work is intermediate between copying and 
dictation. The teacher writes a word, or a word combination, or a sentence on the 


68 
blackboard. The students are told to read it and memorize its spelling. Then it is 
rubbed out and the students write it from memory. 
Dictation drill aims at consolidating linguistic material and preparing students 
for spelling tests. The teacher dictates a sentence. A word with a difficult spelling 
either is written on the blackboard, or is spelt by one of the students. Then the 
students are told to write the sentence. The teacher walks about the class and watches 
them writing. He asks one of the students who has written correctly to go to the 
blackboard and write the sentence for the other students to correct their mistakes if 
they have any. The dictation drill may be given for 10 – 12 minutes depending on the 
grade and the language material. 
Self-dictation. students are given a text (a rhyme) to learn by heart. After they 
have learned the text at home the teacher asks them to recite it. Then they are told to 
write it in their exercise-books from memory. So they dictate it to themselves. This 
type of written work may be given at junior and intermediate stages. 
Writing sentences on a given pattern. This kind of writing exercise is more
difficult because students choose words they are to use themselves. The following 
exercises may be suggested: 
(a) Substitution: Nick has a sister. The students should use other words instead 
of a sister
(b) Completion: How many … are there in the room? He came late because ... . 
(c) Extension: Ann brought some flowers. (The students are expected to use an 
adjective before flowers.) 
Practice of this kind can lead students to long sentences.
