The Importance of Using Dictionaries in Foreign Language Learning and Teaching

Abstract

The current stage of improving the teaching of a foreign language is characterized by a focus on the development of schoolchildren and students as individuals who are fully proficient in speech in all its forms. The most important component of the process of development of a linguistic personality is the formation of the ability to use dictionaries in educational and cognitive activities as a source of knowledge and a means of self-development. However, work with dictionaries both at school and at university has not received sufficient attention. Therefore, this problem remains quite relevant.
