Workshop: LexTeach 2023

LexTeach is a project offered by the Asian Association for Lexicography (ASIALEX https://www.asialex.org) to promote lexicography to the public. The project seeks to disseminate dictionary knowledge essential for users to understand how dictionaries could meet their needs. Such needs include learning and/or teaching English as a foreign language. All the lectures and workshops of the projects will be delivered by ASIALEX members who have relevant expertise in the field. We hope to make dictionaries closer to their users so that users will have the know-how, and appreciate the value, of using them. This second round1 of LexTeach will be offered on 24th of June 2023, during the ASIALEX 2023 Conference period.

Who should apply:

Anyone who is interested in knowing more about dictionaries or lexicography. The workshop would be particularly of relevance to those who have been using one of the following dictionaries (The Big Six) and would like to know more about them or are teachers who want to teach students how to use dictionaries to learn English. The Big Six are:

  • • Cambridge Advanced Learner’s Dictionary
