Why Dictation Works
Evidence-based, teacher-approved practice that trains listening, accuracy, and fluency—one line at a time.
Research says
Evidence-based insights into dictation effectiveness
Noticing boosts accuracy
Comparing your dictation with the original helps you catch articles, verb endings, and common spelling mistakes.
Reconstruction improves writing
Dictogloss (a reconstruction-style dictation) enhances listening and written accuracy through collaborative text rebuilding.
Bottom-up listening & decoding
Micro-dictations train learners to turn sounds into words (decoding), building bottom-up listening skills.
Multi-skill engagement
Running dictation simultaneously practices speaking, listening, writing, memory—keeping learners active and motivated.
Segmentation matters
Replaying tricky audio to puzzle out word boundaries makes dictation an effective way to practice segmentation.
Segmented input lowers cognitive load
Well-segmented input improves comprehension and retention in multimedia learning.
