dc.description.abstractDictionary use is one potential vocabulary learning strategy in developing learning process. With the development of digital technology, printed dictionaries have been converted during the last two decades to electronic ones. Nowadays, vocabulary tutors for language learners are available as digital dictionaries in portable devices. The present study focuses mainly on teachers' and students' attitudes towards using Electronic Dictionaries as a strategy to develop the learners' vocabulary. The basic hypothesis adopted in this study sets out that the ED would be considered as a significant tool for developing learners' vocabulary. To test our hypothesis, a descriptive study was established in which data were collected by using two questionnaires administrated to first year LMD students and to teachers at the department of English, L'Arbi BEN MHIDI University for the academic year 2016- 2017. Then the results of their responses were analysed. The participants were 40 students and 10 EFL teachers. The discussion of the results validated the stated hypothesis that teachers and students have positive attitudes towards using EDs to develops learners' vocabulary knowledge.ar
