■■ Reading Comprehension I
Learners of English, especially, need a dictionary based on analysis of the kind of language they need to read and write themselves. For students of English for academic purposes (EAP), that means academic language.
How to use a learner's dictionary of academic English? A good dictionary can be an invaluable tool for the independent learner. Its unique virtue is that it can answer your specific vocabulary question on demand. But there are two important things to bear in mind: first, it needs to be the right dictionary for your needs; second, you need to be aware of all the different types of information it contains and how to make the best use of it all.
What it means to ‘know’ a word and how a learner's dictionary helps? A good dictionary is not just a list of isolated words with their meanings or translations. Indeed, it can be argued that a word in isolation has no definite meaning: the meaning only becomes apparent when the word is placed in context. The job of the dictionary is to place a word in each of its possible contexts and explain its meaning in each case. In order to do this successfully, the dictionary needs to be based on the analysis of words in real texts and communication.
