Research into the Use Being Made of Bilingual Dictionaries by Language Learners.
Bishop, Graham
Language Learning Journal, n18 p3-8 Dec 1998
Investigated how high school and college second-language learners used bilingual dictionaries. Surveys examined how well students knew their bilingual dictionaries, how they used them, and how much they thought about what they were doing before reaching for the dictionary. Results indicated that students used the dictionaries extensively as sources of grammatical information, not just for meaning. (SM)
