@Misc{efl, author = {Ralph Debusmann}, title = {Advocating an EFL Dictionary for Compulsory Purchase}, year = 1998, authorURLs = {http://www.ps.uni-sb.de/~rade/}, abstract = {This essay advocates an EFL (English as a foreign language) dictionary for students visiting the English Language Teaching Centre (ELTC) at UMIST. It restricts itself to monolingual dictionaries for the advanced learner from the start, because this tends to serve most of the targeted students. It is divided into two parts, the first taking into consideration some of the most important general properties of adequate EFL dictionaries, whilst the second part fleshes out the genuine characteristics of the dictionary recommended, viz. the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary (Hornby 1995).}, note = {Essay}, }
