Default Re: dictogloss vs. dictation?

OK, I'm intrigued. What's a dictogloss?

I love doing dictations (when I'm learning a language, and when I'm teaching). For some reason, I think it's fun! Since most students disagree, I don't do it that often, it depends on the class. I try to keep dictations either short or interactive.

My favourite way of doing dictations is to prepare the sentences ahead of time, give each student one sentence, and have them read it to the class. Then dictation becomes pronunciation practice, too.

Please tell me what a dictogloss is!
