Okinawa JALT Monthly Meeting March 2003
Putting Words in Their Mouths: Dictagloss, Shadowing, and Summarizing
Prof. John Small, Kumamoto Gakuen University
Date: Time: Place: |
Sunday, March 16, 2003
2:00 - 4:00 P.M.

Summary:
In this presentation, Prof. Small examined three activities
designed to provide students with structured language practice: dictagloss
(grammar dictation), shadow talking, and summarizing. With dictogloss, students actively
recreate the spoken text, discuss differences and missing information with partners, and participate
in a review of the grammar of individual sentences. Shadow talking, which simply involves the
repetition of spoken input, can be done out loud or silently by students. Summarizing an article with
a mind map will also be covered. Presentation materials come from the presenter's self-published,
non-profit, global issues textbooks.
