Abstract

The aim of my research was to discover more about what exactly language learners are using their dictionaries for. From the returns it is clear that dictionaries are being used extensively as sources of grammatical information including gender, spelling, synonyms, verb, noun and adjective forms, register and pronunciation, not just for meaning. These results raise questions about the design of dictionary entries and about teaching dictionary skills to language learners who will expect to use dictionaries in examinations at all levels.

语言学习者对双语词典使用情况的研究

我研究的目的是发现更多关于语言学习者使用字典的确切原因。从这些反馈中可以清楚地看出，词典被广泛用作语法信息的来源，包括性别、拼写、同义词、动词、名词和形容词形式、语域和发音，而不仅仅是为了获取含义。这些结果提出了关于词典条目设计的问题，以及如何向期望在各级考试中使用词典的语言学习者教授词典技能的问题。

期刊介绍： The Language Learning Journal (LLJ) provides a forum for scholarly contributions on current aspects of foreign language and teaching. LLJ is an international, peer-reviewed journal that is intended for an international readership, including foreign language teachers, language teacher educators, researchers and policy makers. Contributions, in English, tend to assume a certain range of target languages. These are usually, but not exclusively, the languages of mainland Europe and ‘Community Languages’; other languages, including English as a foreign language, may also be appropriate, where the discussion is sufficiently generalisable. The following are key areas of interest: -Relationships between policy, theory and practice- Pedagogical practices in classrooms and less formal settings Foreign language learning/teaching in all phases, from early learners to higher and adult education- Policy and practice in the UK and other countries- Classroom practice in all its aspects- Classroom-based research- Methodological questions in teaching and research- Multilingualism and multiculturalism- New technologies and foreign languages
