| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this research is to investigate dictionary use by foreign students through the analysis of results of a survey and interview of JLPTUFS(Japanese Language Program, Tokyo University of Foreign Studies) foreign students. 117 responses from speakers of various Japanese levels as well as native speakers were collected for the survey. The interviews were conducted with 8 foreign students. Analysis of results led to the conclusion that two points in particular are important regarding dictionary use by Japanese language learners. First, we must consider training learners in the skills they need to use dictionaries effectively. Second, we must improve the quality of dictionaries for Japanese language learners by providing a large number of example sentences that the learners can use in order to distinguish the intended usage of the targeted word in context.
