Peer reviewedKleinmann, Howard H.; Selekman, Howard R. – Foreign Language Annals, 1980
The dicto-comp, an exercise consisting of a passage to be read several times by the student and then reproduced, usually taps a student's ability to write dictation and composition. Here the emphasis is on composition rather than auditory memory expansion, with the idea that each dicto-comp has a specific teaching point to convey. (PJM)
