TESOL/Delayed copying
< TESOL
Delayed copying is a very simple method of studying a foreign language where the learner reads a small amount of text, holds it in memory for a moment, and tries to write it exactly as it was written. The key is to do this with as long a piece of text as the learner can accurately remember.
