English DepartmentANDALAS UNIVERSITY Course : Dictation and Reproduction Credits : 2 (two) Semester/Year : Even Semester 2014/2015 Lecturer(s) : Gindho Rizano, S.S., M.Hum COURSE DESCRIPTION Dictation and Reproduction is designed for students with basic and lower-intermediate listening skills to help them understand English spoken at a slow and moderate speed (‘clear’ English as opposed to ‘mumbled’ English).

Main activities in class include listening to audio-visual materials, stating the main idea of the materials, analyzing them and taking notes, reproducing some key parts, discussing how the key parts can be used in conversations and speech, practicing communication skills. OBJECTIVES At the end of the semester, students will be able to 1. Read and use English-English dictionaries. This includes the ability to read IPA symbols.

Have a preliminary or basic understanding of ‘natural’ or fast spoken English. 4. Reproduce spoken English dictated by the lecturer 5. Reproduce spoken English heard on the listening materials 6.
