Go Dictation

Enhancing your English listening skills can be achieved effectively through daily dictation and everyday practice. Listening and copying spelling is a widely recognized technique that aids candidates in improving their listening abilities efficiently.

The method of listening and copying dictation not only helps you remember better but also expands your vocabulary and develops English reflexes. Dictation is a fundamental technique used in language teaching and testing, where a passage is read aloud to learners, and they must transcribe what they hear as accurately as possible.

Listening sources can include videos, audio recordings, and podcasts featuring native speakers with either British or American English accents. A variety of topics that are easier to listen to, such as education, environment, work, school, subjects, IELTS, TOEIC, and TOEFL, can be utilized.

Step 1 - Start Listening

Depending on your listening ability, choose the appropriate time to pause the video. For instance, after a sentence of about 5-10 words, pause the video and take notes on what you hear. Continue this process until the listening session ends. Repeat the listening 1-2 more times to enhance your skills.

Step 2 - Compare the Transcript with Your Dictation

After listening to the entire lesson about three times, compare your notes, correct any incorrect words, and fill in the parts you left blank. This comparison will help you identify common mistakes and avoid them in real tests.

Step 3 - Correct Pronunciation Errors Through Reading

Look up words in the dictionary that you do not know how to read or are reading incorrectly, then read the entire transcript again and record it. Listening back to your recording will help you compare your pronunciation with that of a native speaker, as the way you pronounce words will determine your ability to listen and understand.

Step 4 - Listen to the Audio Over and Over Again

Repeatedly listening to the audio will increase your English listening reflexes and help you remember many useful vocabulary words.
