An FLTEACH listserv user recently asked the following:

“In researching a paper comparing online to paper dictionaries, I found that dictionary skills were far more important than anything else as far as a student's ability to look up a word and use it correctly, and researchers agreed that this is a skill that FL teachers should teach. … Have any of you taught dictionary skills? How did you do it?”

Several teachers offered suggestions; you can read them by going to https://listserv.buffalo.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=FLTEACH;8a98154c.1411 and then clicking on “Next” to the right of “By Topic.”
