Abstract

The purpose of this study was to discover the perspectives on the use of a monolingual dictionary as a learning media for vocabulary and the challenges faced by English students in Junior English Courses. In order to conduct this study, a qualitative research approach was used by questionnaire and interview as the study’s tools. The participants in this study were level 4 students of Junior English Course. A total of 15 students in Level 4 were taken as the participants of the present study for the interview, and 30 students were taken as the participants of the questionnaire. The data from the questionnaire was analyzed by using Microsoft Excel, while the data from the interview was analyzed by using theme-based analysis. Based on the questionnaire and interview results, monolingual dictionaries were found to significantly aid vocabulary acquisition and critical thinking. Most respondents felt they improved their understanding of new words and reading skills. While the dictionaries provided valuable insights into word meanings and pronunciation, many found the complex definitions hard to understand and the process time-consuming. Some also struggled with quickly locating words.
