Summary/Abstract: Free dictation still remains a neglected type of dictation in Croatian schools, although researchers of methodics pointed to its useful use in teaching the Croatian language back in the 1960s. Based on the results of a field research, this paper will show the possibility of a convenient use of free dictation exercises in teaching Croatian in secondary vocational schools related to the sectors of economy, trade and business administration (economist, business secretary, administrative referent, commercialist). The exercises were performed by reproducing the tone record. The results of the research point to the multiple usefulness of free dictation exercises in teaching Croatian in secondary schools in the economy, trade and business administration sector. It is suitable for correlation with the contents of a number of vocational subjects (Office Automation, Communication Technique, Computer Dactylography, Modern Communication in Economy, Administrative Procedure, Office Business and Correspondence, Secretarial Correspondence, Computer Dactylography with Office Practice). Additionally, it develops practical skills important to experts from this sector in carrying out their everyday activities and tasks, while due to the interdisciplinary and multimedia approach, it is also interesting to students, thus enabling a motivational effect.
