During this type of dictation, you will listen to a spoken sentence or short paragraph and then use the computer keyboard to type it out. You have a total of one minute to listen to and copy what they hear. You have the option of replaying the section three times. This exam section measures your capacity to identify specific words and to retain them long enough in memory to duplicate them appropriately; both of these abilities are necessary for spoken language comprehension. Additionally, dictation activities have been linked to language learner intelligibility in speech output.
