Abstract

Dictionaries play a key role in foreign language acquisition and are even more fundamental in translation work. Learners tend to prefer using bilingual dictionaries rather than monolingual ones for this activity, because they seem to be more user-friendly and to lead to solutions quickly. But what happens when learners only use a monolingual dictionary? This question was at the centre of a practical exploration project (PEP) carried out as part of the training programme for teaching German as a foreign language called DLL - Deutsch Lehren Lernen (Learn to Teach German), the results of which will be illustrated in this essay.
