Hiroshima JALT:

Putting Words in Their Mouths: Dictogloss, Shadowing and Summarizing

Date: Sunday, March 9th, 2003 Time: 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Speaker: John Small, Kumamoto Gakuen University

Description:
This presentation will cover three activities that give students structured language practice: dictogloss (grammar dictation), shadow talking, and summarizing. With dictogloss, students actively recreate the spoken text, discuss differences and missing information with partners, and participate in a review of the grammar of individual sentences. Shadow talking, which simply involves the repetition of spoken input, can be done out loud or silently by students. Summarizing an article with a mind map will also be covered. Presentation materials come from the presenter's self-published, non-profit, global issues textbooks.
