摘要

该报告的目的是双重的。首先，介绍了单语在线词典中可供英语学习者使用的学习工具。其次，对在线词典中学习工具的有用性进行了评估。为了达到本文的目的，对318名波兰英语学生进行了一项调查。受访者参加了一场关于在线词典学习工具的讲座，并被要求完成一份调查问卷。采用混合问题形式。在调查问卷的第一部分，参与者必须对麦克米伦词典的特征的有用性进行1-7的语义差异评分。第二部分有两个开放式问题。学生们被要求说出麦克米伦词典中最有用和最没用的学习工具，并解释他们的选择。结果表明，在波兰一所大学学习英语的学生非常重视咨询在线学习工具，这些工具可以为他们提供有关搭配、同义词和语义相关单词的宝贵信息。关键词:词典编纂，词典使用，在线词典，单语学习者词典，在线学习工具，调查

Evaluating the Usefulness of the Learning Tools in Monolingual Online Dictionaries for Learners of English: Gauging the Preferences of Polish Students of English

The aim of the report is twofold. First, the learning tools available in monolingual online dictionaries for learners of English are described. Second, an evaluation of the usefulness of the learning tools in online dictionaries is provided. To meet the aims of the present contribution, a survey was administered on 318 Polish students of English. The respondents, who participated in a lecture devoted to the topic of learning tools in online dictionaries, were instructed to complete a questionnaire. A mixed-question format was adopted. In the first part of the questionnaire, the participants had to rate the usefulness of the features of the Macmillan Dictionary on a semantic differential scale of 1–7. In the second part, there were two open-ended questions. The students were asked to name the most and least useful learning tools of the Macmillan Dictionary and explain their choices. The results suggest that English majors studying at a Polish university accord high priority to consulting online learning tools which give them valuable information on collocations, synonyms and semantically related words. Keywords: lexicography, dictionary use, online dictionary, monolingual learners' dictionary, online learning tools, survey
