Dictogloss指的是使用短篇的聽寫測驗或是短篇對話，來訓練語言的掌握能力和熟悉度，此法通常運用在聽力課程、會話課程和作文課。在上述語言課程中，最常使用的是C-test，此種方式遠較傳統的填充題教學法（即是在挖空的文章內填入正確的詞彙或文法）來的有效，是比較現代的一種方法。C-test會創造小組成員間的認知緊張，強迫學生彼此提問，在此語言互動過程中還原課文的全文。M.Long和M.Swain兩人研究C-test對外語（英語）教學的影響，非常強調此種外語教學法的重要性和有效性。本文乃是作者多年教學的經驗分享，剖析高年級學生使用C-test的成效。
Dictogloss is a method of developing listening, speaking and writing skills through dictation. This approach is popular among supporters of ecological model of foreign language learning as well as C-test which is designed to develop skills in speaking, writing and reading. Both methods are used to create cognitive tension among students and encourage them to ask questions in order to rebuilt original text through interaction.English language learners are familiar with these methods (the importance of dictogloss and C-test in second language acquisition is emphasized by M.Swain and M.Long), but in teaching Russian both are completely ignored.This article analyses results of some of these tests taken by students of advanced level.
