| Abstract: |
This paper reports on the results of studies that examined the use of pocket electronic dictionaries (EDs) by Japanese university-level learners of English as compared with printed dictionaries (PDs). The studies also examined students' perceptions of their EDs and PDs, as well as their impact on students' dictionary use. These issues were investigated both quantitatively and qualitatively. Students completed a questionnaire about their impressions of their EDs, and their use of EDs and PDs. A smaller number of students also participated in a follow-up interview, where more details about their dictionary use were elicited. Students perceived that both EDs and PDs had unique advantages. Furthermore, the perceived advantages of their dictionaries appeared to result in some differences between ED and PD users
in their dictionary use, such as the frequency of consultation, and the use of the various functions and features of their dictionaries. |
