# Usefulness of Digital Language Resources in Improving Native Language among Adults
## 4 Results and Findings
The reasons for the occasional and regular use of digital language resources for the above-mentioned intentions are explained by the answers of intentions in the semi-structural interview questionnaire. Among 23 different intentions, the most frequently given answers relate to writing texts, understanding the meaning of words, and seeking synonyms. The explanation of the latter is best summarised by the following statements: \"I use them for writing texts and creating books, it is necessary. I use them because I want to perfect my knowledge. It benefits me in all areas, at work and for fun.\" (F, 56). Another explanation concerns the understanding of words: \"I use them if I run out of words. Sometimes I look for a word and do not remember it or I remember it in English, but not in the Slovene language. Then I also search for synonyms.\" (F, 26). The latter sentence \begin{table}

Table 1: A chi-square comparison table for participants’ professional attendance or non-attendance of language workshops with various types of intention. is also an indicator of the premise that the native language is sometimes subordinate to English and, as such, is losing its understandability. (f) Teaching language: The analysis revealed statistically significant differences between teachers of language, and those who are not teachers, when using digital language resources for seeking information, \(x^{2}\) (3) = 7.85, \(p\) < 0.05. As can be observed in Table 3, a further analysis revealed that the majority of those who do not teach language occasionally use digital language resources for seeking information (25%), while the same proportion of teachers of language used these resources for the same intention rarely (9.52%) and regularly (9.52%). No significant results were found for other types of intention for using digital language resources \(p\) > 0.05.
