Dictogloss
Dictogloss is a type of supported dictation. The teacher reads a short, curriculum-related text several times and the learners try to produce their own version as close to the original as possible.
The ideal dictogloss text is at a language level slightly above that of the learners, but
with familiar subject content.
Students may not write/type when the teacher is talking. Variation: Reverse the order.
If you normally read texts from beginning to end, try reading them starting at the end.
