概要 Active use of dictionaries is very important to be an autonomous English learner especially when he or she is in an EFL environment because there is no other better medium to consult. To use dictionaries actively, learners need to understand when they should use them, what kind of information is provided there, how to find it, and how to use it. These processes should taught repeatedly in the initial learning period until the learners think that dictionaries are indispensable in order to use English well. This presentation outlines a survey of how Japanese university students use dictionaries and the author's thoughts on what teachers should teach on the basis of his survey.
