Abstract: This study explores the impact of dictation exercises in Chinese English classrooms on the language skills of English majors. 120participants from three parallel classes participated in a continuous experiment for 16 weeks within a semester. The experimental results show that dictation scores are significantly correlated with the overall scores of TEM4(Test for English Majors,Band4), indicating that systematic dictation exercises contribute to improving the listening level and dictation ability of English majors. The results also show that short-term dictation exercises are more effective for students with relatively high English proficiency. This study points out that dictation exercises, as a time-saving and effective classroom dictation practice, can be promoted and applied in English majors’ classes.
