Electronic Dictionaries

A new generation of talking electronic dictionaries in the form of CDs is available in the market. There is an urgent need for this type of Virtual Dictionaries. These dictionaries are capable of bridging the wide gap between the language skills taught in the classroom and the actual professional skills needed to undertake any job. An attempt is made here to describe the concept of a virtual dictionary, the need for it to develop the skills of listening and speaking in English, the content of it and the ways to explore it for maximum learning in minimum time.
