Developing writing skills is essential for students’ academic and future success. This study explores the impact of dictation exercises on improving students’ writing abilities, focusing on spelling, grammar, punctuation, and overall coherence. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research involved an experimental group practicing regular dictation and a control group using traditional writing methods. Pre- and post-tests measured writing improvements, while surveys and interviews gathered feedback from students and teachers. Results showed that students who engaged in dictation exercises significantly improved in spelling, grammar, and coherence. They also gained confidence and developed greater attention to detail. Teachers observed that dictation helped identify and correct common errors efficiently. The study highlights dictation as an effective method for enhancing key writing skills and suggests its integration into the curriculum for better writing outcomes.
