Abstract

Dictation is an effective tool in facilitating foreign language acquisition. But traditional dictation, while having some benefits for acquiring a foreign language, was neither engaging for students nor did it focus on the actual, real world communication that is fundamental to the communicative approach of today. Dictogloss introduced communicative dictation and has been used widely in classrooms around the world. But, however dictation is done in the classroom, it can 1) feel to adult learners at least somewhat like something for children and 2) even when designed for adults, typical dictation topics can be perceived to be more at home in a language institute than an academic university setting. This paper will summarize types of traditional dictation, outline the characteristics of dictogloss and how it is an improvement on traditional dictation, review some of the research on its additional benefits for acquiring a foreign language, and suggest how it can be used at the university level.
大学学术环境下成人外语学习者的交际听写
听写是促进外语习得的有效工具。但是,传统的听写虽然对学习外语有一些好处,但对学生来说既不吸引人,也不关注当今交际方法的基础——现实世界的交流。Dictogloss引入了交际听写,并在世界各地的课堂上广泛使用。但是,无论听写在课堂上如何进行,1)对成人学习者来说,它至少有点像儿童的东西;2)即使是为成人设计的,典型的听写主题在语言学院比在学术大学环境中更容易被认为是在家里。本文将总结传统听写的类型,概述听写的特点,以及它是如何对传统听写的改进,回顾一些关于它对学习外语的额外好处的研究,并建议如何在大学水平上使用它。
