I can confidently complete exam-style dictation tasks.
Key learning points
- It is important to have a firm knowledge of French SSCs in order to accurately transcribe spoken French.
Words to know
- sound-symbol correspondence
- relationship between letters and their sounds
Common mistakes
I should start transcribing as soon as the dictation begins.
It is useful to listen to the full sentence once before transcribing to get an idea of its meaning. This will help you write the sentence down and check it during the second and third times that the audio is played.
For parents, carers and teachers
- If there are any particular words or phrases your students struggle to transcribe, you could improvise some extra dictation sentences to address these misunderstandings.
