Abstract

Electronic documentation resources are part of the translator documentation stage; and there is no doubt that a proper use of these resources is essential to accomplish the translation process successfully. This article aims at contributing to the so called pedagogical lexicography. To this end, we offer an electronic dictionary acquisition skills model. In our opinion, this model can enhance and improve both lexical competence and electronic dictionary search skills.  

Keywords:
