Using a Dictionary

Using a Dictionary|طرز استفاده از دیکشنری

How to use a monolingual dictionary for learning a new language:

Your dictionary should not belong to so many years ago. In other words, it’s important to upgrade your dictionary every two or three years to have access to the latest words, phrases, collocations, etc. Furthermore, it is advisable to use different types of dictionaries for different purposes, for example, a dictionary of synonyms and antonyms, a dictionary of collocations, a picture dictionary, a dictionary of English Etymology, and so on.

Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR)

CEFR

The CEFR describes foreign language proficiency at six levels: A1 and A2, B1 and B2, C1 and C2. It also defines three ‘plus’ levels (A2+, B1+, B2+). Based on empirical research and widespread consultation, this scheme makes it possible to compare tests and examinations across languages and national boundaries (see the section “The CEFR and language examinations: a toolkit”). It also provides a basis for recognising language qualifications and thus facilitating educational and occupational mobility.
