Abstract

This study discusses the differences between printed and electronic dictionaries, and the
possibilities of acquiring and developing the competences in reading dictionaries. The first section
presents some details of the results of an empirical research on the use of handbooks. The next
section summarizes the formal, structural and content features of printed and electronic texts and
dictionaries. Then it examines the relation between dictionary reading and the development tasks
connected to first-language teaching in the National Core Curriculum (NAT). Later the author
explains the basic principles of the acquisition and development of the competences required for
the effective use of dictionaries: introduces the steps of acquiring effective dictionary reading and
the methods of using dictionaries. The strategies of effective dictionary reading have implications
for electronic dictionaries as well. Therefore, the study also discusses how information and
communication technologies contribute to competence development. As an addition to the study
paper-and-pencil exercises, downloadable material from the internet as well as interactive board
tasks are available.
