Online classes for the Total Dictation campaign are kicked off today, on March 21. According to organizers, they will be held each Wednesday in 3 p.m. and in 7 p.m. Moscow time. Anybody can join them. People wishing to raise the level of their literacy and check the most difficult questions on orthography and punctuation are welcome to attend the classes at the official website of the project.
Each participant can ask clarifying questions to representatives of the expert council of the campaign on air. The classes will continue after the dictation is over. The topic of three final classes will be online analysis of parts of the Total Dictation text.
Olga Ryabobets heading the project is sure that the classes will be much required. Each year their audience is growing by 2000 or 3000 people. She has mentioned that these classes in any of their forms enable to put the literacy of a person on a qualitatively new level. All the more, that high literacy is needed on a daily basis and not just once a year.
Note that the Total Dictation will take place on April 14 in a thousand of cities all across the globe. Guzel Yakhina, the author of sensational novel Zuleikha Opens her Eyes will dictate the text in person. Traditionally the author comes to the capital of the campaign, which is Vladivostok this time. A quarter of a million people from all over the world is expected to join the campaign.
