dictionary knowledge essential for users to understand how dictionaries could meet their needs. Suchneeds include learning and/or teaching English as a foreign language.
All the lectures and workshops of the projects will be delivered by ASIALEX members who have relevant
expertise in the field. We hope to make dictionaries closer to their users so that users will have the knowhow, and appreciate the value, of using them. This third round1 of LexTeach will be offered on 13th ofSeptember 2024, during the ASIALEX 2024 Conference period.
