I have a variant of Dictogloss where students speak instead of writing the story

My take on Dictogloss is this:

Instructions to students:

1.       Listen

2.       Listen and take notes

3.       If necessary, listen again while seeing the transcript

4.       Record yourself retelling the story to a partner

5.       Get some feedback on your recording from AI (or the teacher)

6.       Record yourself retelling the story to a new partner who hasn’t heard the story

7.       Get some more feedback on your recording from AI (or the teacher)

8.       Record some reflections on your performance

9.       Share the two last recordings with others (peers, teacher, parents)

I drafted this while I was watching Rachel talking about Dictogloss as there is a clear parallel between the original idea of Dictogloss and my variant, which I used every day in my pre-intermediate and intermediate classes for years. Here's a link to the recording:

Posts of mine from 2015 on this kind of 'Dictogloss':

I have posted earlier this year about how AI can provide useful feedback based on machine-made transcripts of students' recordings:

Speak&Improve and transcripts made and tidied up using AI

How to use AI to get feedback on your speaking and learn from it

Further experiments with students recording themselves, getting a transcript and getting AI to tidy it up
