PROSPECTS COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE OF STUDENTS USING ELECTRONIC DICTIONARIES

This study explores the prospects of developing students’ communicative competence through the use of electronic dictionaries in foreign language learning. The research highlights the role of digital tools in enhancing vocabulary acquisition, comprehension, and language production skills. Electronic dictionaries provide immediate access to lexical, phonetic, and contextual information, which supports both receptive and productive language abilities. The study also emphasizes their contribution to learner autonomy, motivation, and intercultural awareness. At the same time, it addresses challenges such as over-reliance and insufficient dictionary skills. The findings suggest that effective pedagogical integration of electronic dictionaries can significantly improve students’ communicative competence and overall language proficiency.
