“…The Web-based lexicographic media including online monolingual and bilingual dictionaries, thesaurus, concordance, and Google search engine are increasingly used in foreign language learning (Liu et al, 2021). The results of studies conducted at several universities in Japan show that foreign language learners spend 15% of their writing assignment time consulting digital dictionaries (Ganem- Gutierrez and Gilmore, 2021). Learners use the media to help them complete their writing assignments.…”

This is a preliminary study of research development for creating a dictionary of high-frequency words (HFW). Thus, this study tries to analyze the need of the ILF learners as the users of a dictionary of HFW for their ILF learning. A list of high-frequency words should be used in ILF learning so that the learning objectives can be achieved effectively. Unfortunately, the word list is not yet available. The ILF learners, especially those at the beginner level, still have difficulty using the Great Dictionary of the Indonesian Language (KBBI). They prefer using translation apps to obtain the meaning of a word, even though these apps do not always help. Employing a descriptive survey, this study involved a total of 183 ILF teachers and learners. The data were gathered through Google-form questionnaires. In addition, interviews were administered with selected ILF teachers who had a teaching experience of more than 15 years. The findings revealed that the teachers and learners had different beliefs on the vocabulary forms needed for making a dictionary of HFW. The learners still did not understand the concepts of high-frequency words. According to the teachers, HFW was more needed for ILF learning. Meanwhile, for the learners, general words were more needed. Besides, digital dictionaries were more in demand than printed dictionaries. Bilingual dictionaries were more needed than monolingual dictionaries. Both the teachers and learners believed that the dictionary of HFW should comprise sentence examples. They both agreed that the dictionary of HFW should provide information about the use of words in sentence examples, affixes, synonymous phrases, antonyms, word classes, and phonetics. Therefore, the results of this research analysis can be used as a basis for developing a dictionary that fits the needs of ILF-1 learners.

Emerging technologies and the rise of internet-mediated writing spaces have contributed to the appearance of new forms of digital practices that have transformed writing and its development. These technologies also present important methodological opportunities for researchers interested in the study of writing processes and writing development. This chapter offers a critical overview of one such opportunity: the use of screen capture technologies (SCT) as a means of documenting and engaging in direct real-time observation of language learners’ digitally mediated writing activities. After a brief description of SCT, this chapter reviews the research questions explored and insights gleaned about writing processes and writing development with SCT. It then addresses the methodological challenges and potential solutions associated with the integration of SCT data within research projects in terms of research design, data collection, data analysis and reporting, and ethical considerations. The chapter concludes by suggesting some potential future avenues for writing process research enabled by the use of SCT.
