The international action “Total Dictation” on literacy testing and knowledge of the Russian language will be held on April 14

“Total Dictation” is an opportunity for every person to test their knowledge of the Russian language and arouse interest in increasing literacy. The first “Total Dictation” was held in 2004 as an action of students of the Humanities Faculty of Novosibirsk State University. In 2017, the action was held in 866 cities, covering 71 countries, its participants were more than 200 000 people. In our city this time dictation will be written at 69 sites – in educational institutions and cultural centers. Tolmachevo airport will be the most unusual platform. Foreigners will also be able to take part in the “Total Dictation” and check their knowledge of the Russian language – special areas are organized for them. Traditionally, the text will be dictated by pro philologists and actors, but at the birthplace of the action – in NSU – the announcer will be very unusual – the text will be read by the voice assistant Yandex-bot Alisa))) The beginning of the Total Dicatanta in Novosibirsk is at 15-00. Do not forget to register in advance!
