Abstract:
Having a dictionary available on-line is very convenient. A good
system requires very little active effort on the part of the learner to
get the information displayed. However, the more the learner is an active
participant, the better the likelihood of his or her learning the material.
The dictionary wizard is a system which helps the learner build a personal
dictionary from an on-line dictionary. The learner selects the information
required from the on-line dictionary and has it stored in the personal
dictionary. Information available includes the meaning, the part of speech,
inflected forms, pronunciation. As well as incorporating the information
for the on-line dictionary, the learner can add notes, such as a sentence
in which the word occurs.
