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.本研究探讨了在外语学习中借助电子词典（electronic dictionaries）提升学生交际能力的发展前景。本研究着重阐明了数字工具在提升词汇习得、语言理解与语言产出技能方面的作用。电子词典可即时提供词汇、语音及语境相关信息，能够同时支持接受性与产出性语言能力的发展。本研究同时强调了电子词典对提升学习者自主性、学习动机以及跨文化意识的积极作用。与此同时，研究也探讨了相关挑战，例如学习者过度依赖电子词典以及词典使用技能不足等问题。研究结果表明，对电子词典进行有效的教学整合，能够显著提升学生的交际能力与整体语言水平。
