Abstract: The present study attempted to clarify how effective strategy training with pocket electronic dictionaries (henceforth E-dictionary) has been in L2 reading class. The study was designed on the basis of the results of the previous study (Koyama, 2010), which concluded that although the reading task with dictionary strategy training for eight weeks might positively affect the participants' comprehension of the texts, the dictionary strategies and reference skills which were taught in class had not been well-retained. This improved study, therefore, provided the participants with: 1) guided practice with feedback; 2) an explicit presentation of the strategies; 3) metacognitive tasks with peer review. Besides, the training period lasted longer than Koyama (2010). The results showed that their reference skills have improved after receiving for over 12 week-training. Additionally, we found that the dictionary strategies which the participants retained contributed to an improvement in their reading skills. Some pedagogical implications are suggested based on the findings.
