This study investigates the dictionary use of graduates in English and German as well as their attitudes towards teaching and learning dictionary skills in the classroom. The first section of the paper offers a historical overview of research on dictionary use and dictionary didactics in Hungary. This is followed by the detailed description of the quantitative research, which aims to investigate the participants’ (n=197) self-reported preferences and attitudes regarding dictionary use, their dictionary consultation behaviour, and the role of dictionaries as an aid to language learning and teaching. The research results partly confirm the trends revealed in previous international studies (e.g. increased use of online tools, reluctance to pay for dictionaries, low prestige of teaching dictionary use); they also show that there is a need for dictionary use skills to be taught from an early age and for placing a special emphasis on features and search strategies in the case of digital dictionaries. Based on these findings, the authors plan to design a core ‘dictionary skills’ module (with teaching aids and handbooks), which could be incorporated into a variety of courses in tertiary education.

匈牙利外语英语和德语教学中的词典技巧：问卷调查研究

本研究调查了英语和德语毕业生的词典使用情况以及他们对在课堂上教授和学习词典技能的态度。论文的第一部分提供了匈牙利词典使用和词典教学法研究的历史概览。接下来是定量研究的详细描述，旨在调查参与者 (n=197) 自我报告的对词典使用的偏好和态度、他们的词典查询行为以及词典作为语言学习辅助工具的作用和教学。研究结果部分证实了以往国际研究中揭示的趋势（例如在线工具的使用增加、不愿为词典付费、教学词典使用声望低）；他们还表明，需要从小就教授词典使用技能，并特别强调数字词典的功能和搜索策略。基于这些发现，作者计划设计一个核心“词典技能”模块（带有教具和手册），可以将其纳入高等教育的各种课程。
