Enfoque pedagógico en la propuesta de un diccionario electrónico de Comercio internacional español-inglés

Abstract

The present article represents a part of a more comprehensive project which entails the proposal for the elaboration of an International Trade Dictionary inside the theoretical framework of the Functional Theory of Lexicography. This project proposes the creation of a specialised electronic pedagogical dictionary in English and Spanish for Spanish university students. We present here those sections in the study which focus on the pedagogic approach of the proposed reference tool. After a brief overview of the state-of-the-arts, we summarize the theoretical framework where our proposal is included. Next, we state the pedagogical facts that justify our work and the objectives that we intend to meet. In a following section, we offer a list of the information categories and structural elements considered as relevant for our target user. Finally, we present a set of illustrations showing the possible layout for the dictionary interface in different phases of the search process.
