Question

Quand je fais les dictées en classe, le prof indique toujours les marques de ponctuation. Donc, je suis énervé quand on ne le dit pas. Est-ce que c'est normal de les indiquer, ou non?

Bonjour Liz,
Merci de nous écrire ce commentatire, tout en français. Bravo !
In the context of a classroom, it does make sense for a teacher to mention the punctuation marks during a dictation exercise. In France, teachers always do this with their students.
Kwiziq does not include the punctuation marks because we feel it would bring more confusion to users. Our main aim is not so much to produce a coherent text as to make sure our users produce the words/sentences they're hearing, i.e. adding the punctuation marks could confuse them and can interrupt the flow of the text as these exercises are not set as strict "school-like" dictation exercises.
I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée !
