Besides, wouldn't adjectives and possessive adjectives sound more natural when placed after nouns?

What I love most about doing a dictatio is that with deliberate and scaffolded repetitions, I can introduce more vocabulary more quickly. With TPR or TPRS, I can introduce maybe 6 new vocabulary words, but with a dictatio, I can introduce around 10-12 words.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12196810680408675365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838882378909693892.post-10691547137600178452016-03-24T14:02:20.674-04:002016-03-24T14:02:20.674-04:00Do you do TPR to introduce the new vocabulary firs...Do you do TPR to introduce the new vocabulary first? Or is the dictation the first time the students have seen the new words? Also, you said that you can introduce more words with this method than with TPRS... Does that mean that you use this approach when you want to introduce more vocab quickly? Or do you somehow combine the two?<br />Thanks!<br />SusannahAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02674006007853362675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838882378909693892.post-87682468443222374482016-01-10T13:09:12.949-05:002016-01-10T13:09:12.949-05:00That's a great idea of using a dictation as a ...That's a great idea of using a dictation as a preview for a novel and of using the sentences in a true/false manner - helps build anticipation for what students will be reading.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12196810680408675365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838882378909693892.post-32392864532301848542016-01-10T12:13:45.208-05:002016-01-10T12:13:45.208-05:00I love this explanation and practice!

I find dictation is actually a great calming activity for a rowdy class, and a wonderful rest for the teacher after doing a lively session of story-building or PQA. I've used dictado as an embedded reading strategy for novels: I write 8-10 sentences that preview the upcoming chapter (works best if it's a later chapter, so student have expectations about characters). I make some of them false, some true, and some of them true but unexpected. After they do the dictation, I then have students mark sentences as true or false. Then we read the chapter (or next embedded reading version) to see what they got right.Profe Annyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00526867284519107973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838882378909693892.post-34866165251148297842015-11-28T17:19:07.666-05:002015-11-28T17:19:07.666-05:00After I project the dictatio sentence on the board...After I project the dictatio sentence on the board for students to correct their spelling, they can then ask for meaning of any words/forms which they do not know. This way, then I can establish meaning.<br /><br />I have used dictationes as a way to introduce vocabulary/structures for the target reading (the plot being unrelated to the dictatio), and I have also used dictationes as a form of embedded reading.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12196810680408675365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838882378909693892.post-62109672302658021522015-11-28T15:37:33.296-05:002015-11-28T15:37:33.296-05:00Keith, how do you make those new words comprehensi...Keith, how do you make those new words comprehensible? Do you just gloss them as they come up, every time they come up? Do you project the new words with a gloss?<br /><br />Also is your story that you come up with here completely unrelated to the story you intend this to be a prep for?Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02010857336352225537noreply@blogger.com
