Hi Yabla Subscribers, h<\/span>ave you played Scribe yet? <\/span><\/p>\n

Look at what the Internet TESL Journal (Teachers of English as a Second Language) say about dictation as a language learning tool:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span><\/i>Dictation helps to develop short-term <\/span><\/i>memory<\/i><\/b>. Students practice <\/span><\/i>retaining<\/i><\/b> meaningful phrases or whole sentences before writing them down. Dictation can serve as an excellent review <\/span><\/i>exercise<\/i><\/b>. Dictation fosters <\/span><\/i>unconscious thinking<\/i><\/b> in the new language.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
