Dictatext

A resource for learners and teachers of English as a foreign language.

About

Dictatext is a method for language learning and development based on a technique used in the Soviet and Eastern-European  educational systems. The technique aids language acquisition though memorisation, rather than though learning grammar rules and memorising vocabulary lists. Many learners have said that memorising texts has given them language that they are able to produce automatically when it is needed. In other words, they have internalised the language they want to learn. Recent research into language aquisition has also highighted the effectiveness of text memorisation.  

Coming soon

We plan to increase the number of texts available on this website, including new themes, such as vocabulary builders, complex and idiomatic structures, and English for specific purposes, such as academic writing.
