Dictation is one of the oldest language teaching activities and its advantages are numerous.

The course develops all 4 German language skills in an integrative way

• Listening: as the passage is dictated for students to transcribe

• Writing: when students write down the dictated material

• Reading: as a follow-up students read the passage silently to check for mistakes
