Due to EFL undergraduate students’ ineffective learning strategies, which mirror lack of autonomy, this paper is a pilot study into how use of Cambridge Dictionaries Online can affect undergraduate students’ autonomy or self-reliance in a Thai EFL context. The link was selectively integrated in a writing classroom as a tool to improve their English during writing assignments because it appears to be more comprehensive than others. Seventy three students participated in the study and completed a questionnaire based on arguments that new generations or young learners can relate themselves to the link viewed as learning technology and in turn possess positive attitude toward and motivation in learning English autonomously. Although the quantitative results are positive to some extent, they offer some directions for EFL teachers to guide their students in moving toward autonomy. Limitation and recommendations for future study are provided.

The aim of the article is the description of registered by amateur online dictionaries names of people because of their nationality and race. The author carries out semantic and structural analyses of these terms. The next stage of the study is to compare the analysed names with similar vocabulary recorded in traditional dictionaries, allowing to illustrate changes in the last few years and to indicate of development trends. The author assumes that the vocabulary registered in the dictionaries created by amateurs represents a colloquial way of thinking and seeing the world, as well as what is the most interesting in language for an average user. Description of the distinguished set of vocabulary, rather representative of the general terms in online dictionaries, may be helpful in the characteristics of the entire vocabulary recorded by amateur online dictionaries.

This paper deals with the lexicographic description of phraseologic units in online dictionaries. Bilingual electronic dictionaries are not limited by space capacity, unlike paper dictionaries. Besides they offer the possibility of searching, selecting, and complementing lexicographic data in several ways, linking to other information sources such as electronic corpora. These factors influence the lonna! of the presentation of phrasemes and remove many problems with multiword expressions, which print dictionaries have to tackle. The discussion first involves the selection of phrasemes. IImakes sense to find fixed expressions useful for foreign language learners and distinguish between the ones relevant for the active usage and those for the reception. It could be taken into account by lexicographers to lemmatise phrasemes both as headwords of their own as well as under each component, as a part of their microstructure. The second question is what is the appropriate citation fonn to be entered. The current lexicographic practice tends to lemmatise vernal phrases in the infinitive fonn, however this may be confusing because of several morphological and syntactic restrictions. Therefore it seems mora adequate if verllal phrases occur in the fonn indicating the slots in the valency like jd. zieht jdn. Ober den Tisch. On the other hand the citation fonn should indicate grammatical, lexical and pragmatic variation by the means of typography and proper examples, e.g. from a corpus. Obligatory, facultative, and alternative components should be marked as well. The different lexicographic practices were discussed on the example of phrasemes with the component Tisch from bilingual Gennan-Polish dictionaries such as Pons, Leo, Bab.la, and Glosbe as well as two phraseologic dictionaries.
