Collins Dictionaries are doing some research into student users of
bilingual dictionaries and would be very interested to hear from any
academics kind enough to answer the following questions:
1. What is the University/Departmental policy on recommending
dictionaries?
2. Would your recommendations be different for students doing pure
languages, as opposed to those doing degrees combining a language with
another subject?
3. Which dictionaries do you think your students use, and which size of
dictionary do they use?
4. Do you think they are aware of how much technical subject-field
language is covered in our dictionaries?
5. Do your students use online dictionaries and, if so, which ones? Do
they have free access to such online dictionaries in the university
library and/or in the language departments?
Thank you very much for your feedback.
