Learning to work with a dictionary begins with an acquaintance with the structure of the dictionary, 
its sections, hence the first group of orienteering tasks - the publishing house, which sections it 
contains, on which pages these sections are located, including additional information, the meaning of 
abbreviations used in the dictionary. 
The second group of tasks is learning how to search for dictionary entries: alphabetically, by 
similar word forms (for example, "underline" - "underline"), the arrangement of words alphabetically, 
open the dictionary to the specified letter.
The third group is the analysis of a dictionary entry: converting a word form in a text into a 
dictionary form, isolating the necessary information, compiling a dictionary entry on its own. 
The fourth group - the application of the information received to solve the language tasks: 
find the appropriate meaning, the formation of a word form, sounding a word form, correct spelling, 
the formation of a phrase according to the valence of the language units, search for synonyms / 
antonyms, filling in gaps in the text with the necessary word forms, working with word-building 
elements, insert missing letters, put stress, establish the difference in meaning between words with 
similar spelling, determine the meaning of phraseological turns. 
The fifth group is the use of the information obtained to solve a speech problem: determining the 
meaning of the context according to the found meaning of the word form, using the formed word 
form in the required environment. In addition, a group of actions can be highlighted that will allow 
the implementation of self-control actions. In our opinion, these actions also need to be taught 
purposefully, and one of such exercises may be the search for confirmation of correctness. The above 
list does not claim to be complete, but it shows the directions in which purposeful work can be carried 
out to form actions for working with a dictionary, which will undoubtedly create a solid foundation 
for the independent performance of language and speech operations.
