Give survey
Make sure students understand that they should answer honestly and that this exercise is intended to help them improve their dictionary usage skills – NOT to see if they actually use a dictionary.
Once students have answered the questions, ask students to gather in small groups for a discussion and comparison of their answers.
After students have discussed their answers together, ask students to make a list of the three most confusing questions on the survey.
Discuss the students answers in general, focus especially
