Can learner dictionaries help to build vocabulary? What are the preconditions for transforming learner dictionaries into teaching dictionaries?

Aus beiden Teilen zusammen ergibt sich, da die Diffamierung der Rhetorik und damit einhergehend die Ablosung einer 'formativen' Tradition der 'Stil-Bildung' durch die...

How does digital technology support existing foreign language learning needs and...
