Abstract
Much effort has been put into the design of learner dictionaries and an increasing number of studies are being made of how these dictionaries are used. However, less has been done in regard to their evaluation. Yet before a dictionary is selected for use, learners and teachers need information concerning its suitability for their situation and the quality of its content and structure. A common form of written evaluation is the review. In order to assess the contribution of reviews to dictionary evaluation, we have studied reviews of English learner dictionaries from a wide range of authors and publications, paying particular attention to their target audience, purpose, the features evaluated and the method of evaluation, and the conclusions reached. This paper will present our findings.
