dictation/dictée

(Here is a trial translation of this article into English.)

I practice dictation for my TOEIC test recently, and found that it was much efficient way to improve my listening skill. It's certain that I KNOW this way of studying and its efficiency, but I've not tried it until now...
Indeed, dictation in French is easier than in English for me, caz there're more exceptional rules about English pronouciation rather than French. Anyway, I'll continue this method for the time being.
