| Abstract: |
This article reports on a study that investigated the use of pocket electronic dictionaries (EDs) compared with printed dictionaries (PDs) by Japanese learners of English, and the impact of EDs on their use of lexical processing strategies (LPSs) (e.g., consulting, inferring, and ignoring). Data were obtained from 279 university
students through a questionnaire. The results show that EDs already played an important part in their learning of English. The majority of students owned an ED, and those who own an ED appeared to depend heavily on it. EDs had a rather positive impact on student LPS use. EDs increased the frequency of dictionary consultation
of students, especially of those of low vocabulary profi ciency. Furthermore, EDs did not have a negative influence on the student LPS use. Successful students frequently used a variety of LPSs, regardless of whether they were using an ED, or a PD. |
