The type of dictation that can be group together in class are running dictation, once chance dictation, guided dictation, dictation for a mixed class, peer dictation, completion dictation, dictogloss and sentences dictation, all these activities can be done in groups all at same time during class.

Which type of dictation activities are more interactive / less interactive?

The type of dictation activities more interactive are Running dictation, peer dictation and less interactive, I think are unexploded dictation and dictogloss.

There are some dictation activities that are very interesting, and  I think, I will use in my class, for example the running dictation, that is an interactive activity that can be done at the same time by all the students of a course, it looks like a relay race, As it is an educational activity and in turn a competition, all the members of a team have to actively participate memorizing, dictating and copying various sentences.

 

How did it work? 

 

Students are divided into groups of 4 or 5 members, one of the members will be the writer, the other students will be the ones who will have to read and memorize the sentences that are written and posted on the wall outside the classroom, each student must run and read the sentence and then dictate to the writer, the group that first finish dictating and writing  well the text that was written outside the classroom will be the winner.
