description Negotiated dictation is an interactive pedagogical approach that differs from traditional dictation by encouraging students to collaboratively discuss and negotiate orthographic and grammatical choices. This method fosters interaction, reflection, and a deeper understanding of language rules. This study examines the impact of negotiated dictation on students' linguistic skills and motivation. Forty-one fifth-grade students participated, divided into an experimental group (using negotiated dictation) and a control group (using traditional dictation). Pre- and post-tests assessed spelling, grammar, and motivation. The results show that negotiated dictation led to fewer spelling and grammar errors, improved retention of linguistic rules, and better self-correction skills. Over 85% of students in the experimental group reported increased confidence in writing and greater class participation. They found the method engaging, promoting peer discussion and critical thinking. Challenges included some initial difficulty in negotiating choices, requiring teacher support. Overall, negotiated dictation proved to be an effective instructional strategy for enhancing language accuracy, motivation, and learner autonomy.
