Interesting assessments

LA Dictee de Bernard Pivot ([|www.tv5.org]) Students log onto [|www.tv5.org], click on the "Dictee de Pivot" link and have a choice of several online dictations. "La dictee de Pivot" is a very popular worldwide francophone dictation. It is specifically known for its difficulty and for reintroducing french speakers to unusual words such as Brouhaha (background noise). Students are given vocabulary, they then do a first listening in-class. Then practice at home before taking the final dictation in class. The highlight of this activity is that not only can student assess themselves on the spot, but they can also compare their performance with students' worldwide.
