Understanding English Dictionaries

Though many people use dictionaries daily, only a few have in-depth knowledge about them. People aren’t usually aware of why a particular word has been included as an entry, where the word has come from, and how dictionary compilers assemble this information. If you’re curious about these questions, the Understanding English Dictionaries course is designed precisely for your inquisitive mind.

In the Understanding English Dictionaries programme, you will get into the nitty-gritty of English dictionaries. You will be trained by established dictionary researchers and editors. The syllabus will cover topics like possible dictionary entry components, trends in lexicographic research, and the content and wording of definitions.

You will explore the Understanding English Dictionaries syllabus through articles, readings, videos, multimedia resources, quizzes, and discussions with fellow learners, and active learning resources. Moreover, you can also map your progress regularly with Future Learn’s progress page. This course is brought to you by Macmillan Education in partnership with the Alan Turing Institute and Coventry University.
