In running dictation, the students are put into pairs. The teachers places a sheet with some English sentences either at the front of the room, or outside of the room. (I usually prefer to place it outside the classroom in the hallway somewhere, but it all depends on the size of your classroom, how much freedom you have to use the outside hallways, and how much you trust your students to be relatively well-behaved in the school hallways). One student can run and look at the sentences, but they can't write down anything. They must memorize as much as they can, and then run back and dictate the sentences to their partner. Their partner, by contrast, is allowed to write, but cannot leave their seat to look at the sentences themselves. They must simply listen to their partner, and write down what their partner dictates. (In my experience, constant vigilance is required to ensure that the rules are actually followed.) The "runner" holds as much of the text in their memory as they can, runs back and tells their partner what they can remember, and then has to run back to the text to look again and memorize the next section.The game continues until one pair has successfully reconstructed all the sentences.

Llewellyn: Hello, and welcome to Fully Charged. My name is Robert Llewellyn. This is a series about the future of energy and transport, electric cars, all kinds of cool stuff like this. And today, I’ve just come along to see this normal town, just another town in Dubai. Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. And I don’t know, it’s very nice. It’s very quiet as you can tell. Not a lot of traffic. In fact, none. In fact, it’s amazing. This is the Sustainable City.
El-Jisr: First of all, thank you for coming. I mean this is . . . it’s a delight to show you all of this. So, this is the Sustainable City and we, we regard it as . . . Our goal is to have a net zero energy development. So, everything you see, first of all, the principle design element, is to reduce the energy intensity of the city. And so, if you notice, as we drive through those streets, the orientation of the villas. You know, these villas, they benefit from the shade.
