Abstract

This paper investigates the role of electronic dictionaries in enhancing student motivation in language learning. It examines how the accessibility and user-friendly features of electronic dictionaries can foster a more engaging and interactive learning environment. The study highlights the ways in which these digital tools can reduce anxiety associated with language acquisition, promote self-directed learning, and encourage exploration of vocabulary in a more dynamic manner. Additionally, it discusses the impact of multimedia features—such as audio pronunciations, example sentences, and contextual usage—on students' interest and enthusiasm for language studies. The findings suggest that when integrated effectively into language curricula, electronic dictionaries not only support vocabulary development but also significantly boost students' motivation and confidence in their language learning journey.
