A very interesting book about using dictation in a creative way is Dictation: New Methods, New Possibilities.
The book is full of interesting activities all related to dictation. The is very interesting as it raises teachers' attention to:
Who gives the dictation? To whom?
Who controls the pace?
Who chooses or creates the dictation?
Two interesting activities are the mutual dictation and elicited dictation ( like reading a text on fast food and filling in a chart according to the dictation.)
The dictation can add life to a class that is about to sleep and give students' motivation.
