This French website created for native French speakers is full of dictées - dictations. This site is divided into grade levels based on the French school system. (For a brief run-down of the grade levels in France visit the blog from Transparent Language entitled À l'École!: French and American Grade Levels Compared at http://blogs.transparent.com/french/a-lecole/) Since the ladictee.fr website is targeted toward elementary aged children, the language level works well for beginner and intermediate French L2 learners. Even though a dictée isn't what people would call a "communicative" activity, it does serve the purpose of helping students make connections between spoken language and written language, especially since French spelling is not phonemic. The site includes various dictées for each level, along with a PDF of the written text so student's can check their work. Doing dictées can help students improve their spelling, recognize spelling patterns, and learn to listen for cues in spoken speech that indicate whether the person is speaking in the plural or singular (often tricky in the French language). Note: When doing a dictée, students are focused on writing down what is said word for word, and NOT on comprehension. It would NOT be effective to give a student a dictée and then immediately ask them specific comprehension questions about what they just heard.

OJAD is an online Japanese accent database for learners and teachers of Japanese.  The goal of this tool is to enhance the awareness and understanding of the Japanese pitch accent with a suite of four features.   The words in the dictionary encompass over 9000 nouns and 3500 declinable words including verbs, i-adjectives, and na-adjectives, making it possible to search approximately 42,300 conjugations of words.  What's more, each conjugated form given in the dictionary is accompanied by both male and female audio.  This suite provides three other useful tools in addition to word search.  With Verb-Suffix Search, you can look up the accent type for a verb followed by a suffix.  With Text-Search, you can look up the accent types for words in an excerpt of text.  Lastly, with Suzuki-kun, you can predict and display the pitch contour for an excerpt of text.  We hope that you will be able to make use of these tools in your future language lessons or language studies.
