maybe this is all wrong, but even for oral kids with electronic dictionaries, i use a hard copy oxford during the oral test. the way i see it, their difficulty is finding the word in the oxford, but if i am finding it, there is no problem. they use the elec. dictionary during the time they are preparing the text, before i test them. 2010/5/15 ק×?×?×? <kobilavy@xxxxxxx> > I agree that you should ask the kid whether he wants it in English or in > Hebrew but if a kid has an electronical milonit it only comes in Hebrew so > there's no option there. > What do you when a word has multiple definitions or is more than one part > of > speech (both a verb and a noun but only one of them will give the correct > definition).
