Dictations: Old Methods, New Possibilities?
Dictations: Old Methods, New Possibilities?

Summary/Abstract: Dictation provides a chance to model many writing types of behaviour including handwriting, matching sounds to letters to spell words, punctuation, and sentence formation. The aim of the article is to describe the usage of the dictations during the lessons in Czech language as a mother tongue at primary schools and high schools. The authors will present the results of a questionnaire survey covering more than 200 students of the Faculty of Education. The questionnaire included questions concerning, for example, the frequency of dictations, methodology, corrections and markings, etc. By way of conclusion, the authors will point out the necessity of improvement in the traditional approach and bring attention to some less known dictation methods and their possible implementation in the practice.
