6 Process Dictation

The aim of this running dictation activity is to boost students’ mastery over describing processes through
working in a collaborative way. The activity is meant to raise awareness about new structures and the
spelling of the words included.

Materials and Preparation
Reading sheet on page 175
As a preparation, the teacher photocopies the reading sheet as many as the number of groups and
places them on the different parts of the board. For larger classes, it may be necessary to put the sheets
on display at different points of the classroom.

Procedure
1 Divide the class into four or five groups and choose two runners and a writer for each group.
2 Explain that the runners are responsible for running to the text displayed, reading it and, finally,
running back to the group and dictating to the writer. Emphasize that dictating longer texts at a time
will help them finish earlier.
3 Tell them that this process continues until the text is complete.
4 Remind students that they should try to rewrite the text as similar as possible to the original one,
including the correct spelling and punctuation.
5 The first group to finish with the correct text will be the winner. The quality of the text will be evaluated
by the teacher.
