“…Given the usefulness of surveys in dictionary-user research (see Kosem et al 2019) and the advantages of designing a questionnaire (see Jackson and Furnham 2000: 5;Mackey and Gass 2005: 94-96;Blaxter et al 2006: 79;Debois 2019), the students were asked to fill out a questionnaire in the second part of the research. A pencil-and-paper format was selected for the questionnaire.…”

The aim of the report is twofold. First, the learning tools available in monolingual online dictionaries for learners of English are described. Second, an evaluation of the usefulness of the learning tools in online dictionaries is provided. To meet the aims of the present contribution, a survey was administered on 318 Polish students of English. The respondents, who participated in a lecture devoted to the topic of learning tools in online dictionaries, were instructed to complete a questionnaire. A mixed-question format was adopted. In the first part of the questionnaire, the participants had to rate the usefulness of the features of the Macmillan Dictionary on a semantic differential scale of 1–7. In the second part, there were two open-ended questions. The students were asked to name the most and least useful learning tools of the Macmillan Dictionary and explain their choices. The results suggest that English majors studying at a Polish university accord high priority to consulting online learning tools which give them valuable information on collocations, synonyms and semantically related words. Keywords: lexicography, dictionary use, online dictionary, monolingual learners' dictionary, online learning tools, survey

Among reference works, dictionaries are particularly important in foreign language learning. Dictionaries provide language learners with a wide range of data, however, wading through the mass of data and information can be a daunting task. Mastering dictionary skills should be important in the language learning process; however, in official educational documents in Hungary, there are no clear guidelines on how to develop these skills. By integrating dictionary skills into the curriculum and teaching them explicitly in lessons, teachers could play an important role in bridging the gap between lexicographers and dictionary users. In the present study, we report on our methods of teaching lexicography and dictionary skills to students at a Hungarian university. The authors are speaking from experience, the discussion and accompanying material are based on more than 15 years of teaching practice. To ensure that the training can meet the expanding needs of young students, a longitudinal study was launched in 2020 to examine students' changing habits and needs. The aims of the article are threefold: first, to encourage the teaching of lexicography at university level by providing concrete methods, then to highlight the importance of dictionary skills, and finally, to emphasise the importance of integrating the effective teaching of the use of electronic dictionaries into dictionary didactics. In this context, the article underlines the need to incorporate new evaluation criteria as well as to develop new skills for digital dictionaries, different from those for print dictionaries, into education. Keywords: teaching lexicography, dictionary didactics, reference skills, dictionary skills, dictionary use, university course design, course evaluation, online dictionaries, evaluation of dictionaries

“…1.1.1 Estudios sobre el uso de diccionarios con estudiantes de Traducción Existe un gran número de estudios sobre el uso de diccionarios que se centran en el público general o en estudiantes de segundas lenguas (Hamouda, 2013;Gromann y Schnitzer, 2015;Kosem et al, 2019;Márkus, Fajt y Dringó-Horwáth, 2023, inter alia). No obstante, los trabajos que tienen como perfil de usuario al estudiante de Traducción son mucho más limitados y los que hay disponibles suelen ofrecer tendencias generales, sin distinguir entre los distintos cursos de grado o máster (Sánchez-Ramos, 2005;Kodura, 2016;Altuwairesh, 2021Altuwairesh, , 2022Karami y Riassati, 2023;Svike, 2022).…”

“…Los resultados confirmaron que el ordenador constituye el dispositivo más empleado por la mayoría de los encuestados de los cuatro cursos de grado y máster para la consulta de diccionarios, seguido de los teléfonos inteligentes y las tabletas. Esto coincide con los resultados del cuestionario que evaluó el uso de diccionarios monolingües en toda Europa, con más de 9000 participantes (Kosem et al, 2019). Sin embargo, en nuestro estudio se encontraron diferencias significativas entre los cursos de grado y el máster.…”

Los avances tecnológicos del siglo xxi y, en especial la inteligencia artificial, están cambiando la forma de documentarnos y obtener la información. La traducción no ha permanecido ajena a estos cambios. No obstante, ahora más que nunca, conviene destacar el papel fundamental de los diccionarios en el proceso traductor, ya que estos proporcionan información conceptual y lingüística de calidad que difícilmente podrá sustituirse por muchos avances que se produzcan. En este sentido, resulta esencial determinar el conocimiento que los estudiantes de Traducción poseen acerca de los recursos lexicográficos y terminográficos existentes, e investigar sobre el uso que hacen de estos recursos. Así pues, el presente artículo estudia el conocimiento y el uso de los recursos lexicográficos y terminográficos por parte de 165 estudiantes del Grado en Traducción e Interpretación y del Máster en Traducción Profesional, de la Universidad de Granada, a través de un cuestionario. Los resultados revelan diferencias significativas entre los distintos cursos y, en general, el desconocimiento y el empleo poco frecuente de los recursos terminográficos, incluso por parte de los estudiantes de máster. Así pues, este trabajo destaca la necesidad de incluir más formación en torno al uso y tipología de diccionarios en los estudios de Traducción.
