Table 9 shows that most junior students and senior students regard their teachers should give a brief introduction or necessary information to purchase and use the dictionary (junior students %。 senior students %), while only a few students think it is dispensable and unnecessary for teacher to do that (dispensable %, unnecessary %) . This figure (% and % on average between junior students and senior students) is much higher than Xin Yan and Zhang Wulian’s figures of the investigation on the Use of English Dictionaries by NonEnglish Major Students Studying English, %.[15] It implies that majority of the students hope teachers could give sufficient guidance and directions to them. 5. DiscussionThrough the survey of some English majors in Huizhou University, we know that the types of the English Dictionary they often use, and what strategies and skills they apply to deal with the problem of listening, reading and word analysis. By the effective figures from the questionnaire, we have got such conclusions: First, Students have recognized that the deficiencies of electronic/online/pc dictionaries, so they are more willing to apply the paperbased dictionary, because they feel that it gives them new and full usages, accurate interpretation, clear definitions, and sufficient example sentences, etc. in addition, a small number of students choose EnglishEnglish dictionary. Second, though most English majors already have the basic knowledge about the paperbased dictionary, they regard their teachers should give a brief introduction or necessary information to purchase and use the dictionary. Third, to deal with the problems in word analysis, they would be likely to stop to guess the meanings of the words or expressions in the context or find out the new words or expressions after reading. Forth, to deal with the problems in listening, most students will imitate the words’ pronunciation, guess and look up in the dictionary later. Fifth, to deal with the problems in word analysis, most students are likely to read all the information of the word entries and jot down the English and Chinese meaning. 6. Conclusion Limitation As a tentative study of the strategies and skills of the dictionary use, this research still needs further study. It has a great number of limitations. First, research participants in the study are 85 in total, all ing from the Huizhou University. Second, limited by time and resources, this questionnaire could not cover all the aspects of problems, so it can not fully reflect the current college students’ using strategies and skills SummaryFrom this survey, teachers should give students a brief introduction or necessary information to purchase and use the dictionary. Most students think their teachers do not give them enough instructions on how to make full use of dictionaries, although they do encourage their students to use dictionaries frequently. If given more guidance, it could have further improved students’ efficiency of using dictionaries. An effective way is that teachers should base on students’ English proficiency to design appropriate exercises so as to help students to bee familiar with the various types of dictionaries. In particular, how to deepen students’ approval towards EnglishEnglish Dictionary, and increase EnglishEnglish dictionary using frequency will be a very meaningful study. References:[1] Wright.
