| Dictionary consultation is widespread among foreign language learners for a variety of reasons. Rapid technological developments predominated the use of online dictionaries over print dictionaries thanks to the manifold opportunities provided by online dictionaries. This study examines the effectiveness of print vs. online dictionary usage in writing sessions in EFL classes. A total of 38 students participated in the study. The data were collected through students’ written essays. Throughout the study, the participants were asked to compose essays on assigned topics utilizing online dictionaries for assistance and print dictionaries in three others. Error Analysis was employed to analyze the essays. The participants (N= 20) were also interviewed based on their notions and experiences using online vs. print dictionaries in writing sessions. Thematic analysis was used for the analysis of the interviews. The results indicated that most of the learners' mistakes were predominantly analogical. Through the thematic analysis, three themes appeared, emphasizing that online dictionaries were more practical to carry than print dictionaries; students were exposed to new vocabulary items during word searches and misused their smartphones when they were expected to benefit from online dictionary usage. The results are discussed based on the results of error analysis and interviews. |
