Abstract

With the introduction of the PROMPT template materials into the French, Italian, and Spanish classes at the Universities of Calgary and Guelph, Canada, it became evident that a system to help language students improve their listening skills was much needed. In response to this need, a template called DICTATE was developed to allow teachers to use the dictation format to practice auditory discrimination, aural comprehension, and orthography in the most efficient and effective way possible.
