Abstract

The relevance of the topic. With the advent of new information technologies, new curricula and greater specialization in the workplace, written communication has become a vector for integration and success within society. Effective writing skills are considered to be indispensable to participate and communicate in contemporary society. Therefore, education is found accountable for preparing children to be socially active by giving them high quality writing instruction and by doing so, supporting them to develop essential writing skills. The results of the National and International PIRLS research conducted in 2011, showed that students in primary schools of Lithuania have various writing difficulties. Their elementary literacy abilities are getting lower, the achievements of boys are lower than that of girls. At schools there are not enough learning strategies which would enable students to achieve high writing results, to learn better. It is essential and urgent to teach children to read and write competently, enabling them to achieve today’s high standards of literacy and prepare them for succesful functioning in contemporary society. Many scientists consider the dictation method to be a useful teaching and learning exercise by which pupils learn to improve their language learning. Moreover, scientists and teachers see the dictation as a tool for the development of the learning to learn competence (self-check of the dictation, self-evalution of writing difficulties, learning to listen attentively and find essential information, etc.)
