Go Dictation

Enhance your English listening skills with daily dictation exercises. This proven technique helps candidates improve their listening abilities effectively. Listening and transcribing what you hear aids in better retention, vocabulary expansion, and the development of English reflexes. Dictation is a widely used method in language teaching and testing, where a passage is read aloud, and learners must write down what they hear with accuracy.

Utilize a variety of listening sources such as videos, audio recordings, and podcasts featuring native speakers with either British or American English accents. Choose topics that are easier to follow, including education, environment, work, school, subjects, and exam preparation for IELTS, TOEIC, and TOEFL.

Step-by-Step Guide to Effective English Dictation

Step 1 - Start Listening

Begin by selecting a listening source that matches your skill level. Pause the video after every 5-10 words to jot down what you hear. Continue this process until the end of the listening material. Repeat the listening 1-2 more times to refine your skills.

Step 2 - Compare the Transcript with Your Dictation

After listening to the entire lesson approximately three times, compare your notes with the transcript. Correct any errors and fill in any gaps. This comparison will help you pinpoint common mistakes and avoid them in future tests.

Step 3 - Correct Pronunciation Errors Through Reading

Look up unfamiliar words in the dictionary and practice their pronunciation. Read the entire transcript aloud and record yourself. By listening to your recording, you can compare your pronunciation with that of a native speaker, which is crucial for improving your listening comprehension.

Step 4 - Listen to the Audio Over and Over Again

Repeatedly listening to the audio will enhance your English listening reflexes and help you memorize useful vocabulary.
