چكيده لاتين :
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the
effect of monolingual, bilingual, and bilingualized
dictionaries on vocabulary comprehension and production
of Iranian EFL learners of English at different proficiency
levels. A total number of 270 students at Tabriz Azad
University (nine groups of 30 members each) participated
in the study. Three groups were elementary, three
intermediate, and three advanced level learners. At each
level of proficiency, all the three groups were taught the
same words, but each group used a different kind of
dictionary. At the end of the experimental period, all three
groups (at each level) received two posttests, a multiplechoice
test and a fill-in-the-blank test. Six independent
one-way יAnalysis of Varianceי (ANOYA) procedures were
run to compare the means of the groups on receptive and
productive vocabulary tests. Results indicated that different
types of dictionaries are appropriate for vocabulary
comprehension and production of learners at different
levels of proficiency
