A dictionary is a very important learning measure for learning a language.With the rapid development of science and technology,the content of dictionaries has significantly increased.At the same time,there have been great changes in dictionary forms.The dictionary developed so rapidly,lexicography circles also continue to publish relevant research,but the research is mainly about criticism of the dictionary,the research in the use of dictionaries is few,especially the research on the use of Chinese-Korean dictionaries is even fewer,and the combination of dictionary use and Chinese teaching is much less.As a Korean student studying in Shaanxi Normal University,I often see that Korean students encounter negative effects when they use dictionaries in class.Therefore,in order to understand the influence of the dictionary use during class,I started the research,in addition,in order to improve the research aim and purpose,the scope of the study will be limited to 'Korean students' and 'the comprehensive Chinese class' and'mobile phone dictionary the most commonly used among the Korean students'.Through the in-depth interviews with 10 Korean students,13 classroom observations,and 45 question questionnaire surveys,the following contents were revealed:the dictionary which Korean students use the most is a bilingual dictionary,the most commonly used application software is the NAVER dictionary.60 students who participated in the questionnaire said they most commonly use the dictionaries during the comprehensive course.Dictionary use ranges widely among students.Students use the dictionary most to find new words from the textbook where they can search for the Korean meaning.Students are satisfied with the teacher's explanation of the material during the comprehensive course lesson,but they also think that the use of the dictionary is also very necessary to understand the content of the class.In addition,the preview of class content affects the frequency of the use of dictionaries in the class,and the students with too much dictionary use don't prepare for class.Finally,Korean students have had the experience of finding a certain word in their dictionaries,but this word is a not a good translation for the word that they teacher has given.Their use of the dictionary during class instruction caused many students to miss the important content from the teacher's lecture.This article is based on the survey results from the comprehensive questionnaire given to Korean students about their use of mobile phone dictionaries during class.First,the dictionary's content and teacher's lecture are not completely consistent.Secondly,students look at the dictionary during lecture times leads to a decrease in students,interaction between teachers and also students' participation in class.Therefore,the use of dictionary influences the input and output of language.Lastly,the main purpose of Korean students learning Chinese is to improve their spoken Chinese ability,but they cannot improve their spoken ability because they use bilingual dictionaries during class to translate Chinese content into Korean.This learning attitude is not good to achieve their learning goals.According to the findings of the survey,this article proposes how to reduce the negative effect of mobile dictionaries in comprehensive Chinese classes.First,students should prepare new words before class,the teacher should assign homework for previewing the next lessons content,and the teacher should take time to check their homework.Second,we should create a classroom environment where teachers and students interact with each other actively,so that students do not have to look at the dictionary and follow the rhythm of the teacher,so as not to miss the teacher's explanation and practice Chinese opportunities.Finally,the teacher should conduct instructions in the comprehensive Chinese class directing students how to refer to dictionaries in class and develop students' dictionary use strategies and skills.
