AB - Objectives: This study investigates the impact of monolingual and bilingual dictionaries on vocabulary acquisition among Vietnamese students majoring in Korean language. The research aims to clarify how different dictionary types affect learners’ ability to understand and apply vocabulary, recognizing vocabulary as a core element in language learning.
Methods: The study compared the use of bilingual dictionaries, which provide immediate access to meanings, and monolingual dictionaries, which promote deeper semantic understanding and contextual usage. A small group of intermediate-level learners participated in the study, which was conducted over a short duration and focused on selected vocabulary dimensions.
Conclusions: The study suggests that educators should encourage students to transition from bilingual to monolingual dictionaries and integrate monolingual dictionary-based tasks into instruction. While the study provides practical insights for optimizing vocabulary learning strategies in Korean language education, its limitations—such as small sample size and short research period—necessitate future studies with greater participant diversity and expanded linguistic skills.
