Title: Recommended English-Romance Language Online Dictionary
Body: Online translation can be students' worst nightmares. However, knowing that students will continue to try submitting homework that has been "translated" online, I am forever looking for good sites that will help students and do justice to the languages. I happened upon this online dictionary that is fast becoming one of my favorites for the following reasons: 1. translates single words only 2. gives its grammatical function 3. gives the different possible meanings depending on context (with concrete examples) 4. gives a list of popular idiomatique expressions in which that word can be found 5. gives you access to discussion where users are discussing possible translation for phrases containing that word The site is http://www.wordreference.com . I am now using this site in my labs! Lesage, N. Spanish/French online dictionaries. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (10 Jan. 2006).
