36、 exploit them in their classes. But these books have come a long way in recent years. This passage is about how learners dictionaries can be a stimulating source of activities.You know that guilty feeling-your students could really benefit from the excellent learners dictionaries now available, but
37、somehow you cant find the time to check on their reference skills. I cant count the number of times teachers have said to me, “In theory, we do dictionary skills lessons every term, but actually it often seems to go by the board.“Perhaps thats pardy because dictionary activities used to be rather du
38、ll and mechanical. So did the dictionaries. In the old days, they were impenetrable books, full of complicated definitions and rather artificial, made-up examples, which didnt really help the student find out what the word meant or when and how it should be used. Its no wonder that language learners
39、 were less than enthusiastic about dictionary work.But things have come long way since then. Dictionaries themselves have become much more user-friendly and accessible, and, as a result, they are more powerful and valuable as teaching and learning tools.The once difficult definitions have been repla
40、ced by easy-to-understand word explanations, which are written in limited defining vocabularies. Headwords are often accompanied by useful information, such as details about frequency and the examples of words usage are typically authentic and illustrative.A similar revolution has taken place with d
41、ictionary activities. In the past, workbooks and worksheets concentrated on the mechanics of dictionary use, rather than focusing on the user. The emphasis was on explaining conventions, and on working through the various parts of an entry. Today, the new generation of dictionary workbooks show how
42、dictionaries can be used to help students improve their reading comprehension, and, in some cases, their writing as well.Lets look at receptive uses of a dictionary first. This is how dictionaries are normally used-to look up the meaning of a word that is either not known at all or not fully underst
43、ood.One way of making dictionary activities more realistic and stimulating has been achieved by embedding dictionary activities in text-based work, thereby replicating the way a student would normally use a dictionary, that is, to work from text to dictionary. This enables the classroom teacher to u
44、se texts for a variety of purposes: as practice for student has understood the meaning and that they know about basics such as alphabetical order and so on.Its important that students know how to deal with multi-sense words in English. As teachers, we are all familiar with the very odd written work
45、that results from students looking up each and every word in a passage, and quite often producing paraphrases that indicate that the student has selected the wrong sense of a word.Viewing the word in context helps the student fully understand the word or the meaning instead of trying to decode the w
46、ord in isolation. The activity on this page can be used with any multi-sense words found in any text. Its very easy to create other exercises like this yourself. Naturally, the words you choose must be presented in a definite context, and they must have multiple meanings.Dictionary workbooks increasingly include exercises that help students improve their
