opposition to the use of electronic dictionary
If you are the newly recruited university, you may be surprised, because your English teacher would strongly recommend that you buy the printed version of dictionary as a learning tool, rather than portable, electronic dictionaries and quick query - this is a college English teaching in China a common phenomenon. In fact, abroad, foreign language teaching at the university, the electronic dictionary has become a basic tool of learning, Associate Professor, University of Okinawa, Japan, Kenji Kuanshan said that with the printed version of an English dictionary query terms on average 20 seconds, but as long as the electronic dictionary 5 seconds is enough, he stressed: “The use of electronic dictionaries can provide retrieval efficiency, this may be a corresponding increase in the time to learn other things.”
The ordinary course of events of this type of product sales in the domestic history of ten years, the domestic foreign language professor at the University should have accepted this type of product, why does this situation occur?
The reason is simple, although the 10 year history of development, but so far, the domestic “electronic dictionary” and can not really meet the learning needs of students of foreign languages?
Electronic dictionary that should be true, how are we doing?
1, first of all, electronic dictionary is a learning tool, not entertainment tool, it must be through electronic means, on the authority of the printed version published dictionaries included to complete. The lack of this, then no use fancy features, but the internal “electronic dictionary” of copyright in order to save the purchase of expensive costs, and even excerpts from dictionaries dictionaries become a common practice to fabricate. This point, you will see from the promotional materials of those products on that in addition to 12 general dictionaries indicate a clear, complete name of the publishing house, the others were of unknown origin “dictionaries.” Just extract it and, worse, also the name for a publishing house out, then, “Press” has become a “museum printing business” and so on. And many manufacturers downloading dictionaries speculation is even more nonsense, what you might think that several hundred dollars in the bookstore to sell the authority of dictionaries, online publishers could agree to a free download. Therefore, this kind of “electronic dictionary”, primary, junior high school students simply do not use them with is to look at problems facing the entrance if the use of the high school students, or college English teachers to recommend students to use, there will be a false one children suspected of.
