In the process of language learning, vocabulary comprehension plays an essential role. The way in which learners acquire and retain new words directly influences their ability to communicate fluently. This is why Dexway is adding a new feature to its courses with artificial intelligence: the AI dictionary, an advanced tool designed to provide instant definitions, real examples and explanations adapted to the learner’s level.
This resource represents a before and after in the way of working with vocabulary during online learning, reinforcing students’ autonomy and contextual understanding without the need to leave the training environment.
A dictionary integrated with artificial intelligence
The new IA dictionary integrated into Dexway courses is presented in a clear and concise format that is easy for students to use. To open it, simply click on any word in the course and this will activate the dictionary.
It has three variants: native dictionary, bilingual dictionary (e.g. English-Spanish) and reverse bilingual dictionary (e.g. Spanish-English). In addition, it automatically detects inflections (such as conjugations and declensions) and misspellings, redirecting to the correct main term or suggesting related words.
Instant, uninterrupted support
One of the main advantages of this new dictionary is its direct integration into the course content. The student can consult any word instantly without having to open new tabs or change tools, which favors concentration and continuity of learning.
This functionality eliminates the most common barriers when facing a new vocabulary: insecurity, external distraction and the frustration of not fully understanding what is being studied.
Beyond the definition: context, pronunciation, and usage
The AI dictionary does not simply provide the meaning of a word. It also incorporates:
- Examples in real context.
- Audio pronunciation.
- Grammatical classification and synonyms, to enrich the student’s active vocabulary.
- Use in similar sentences, which helps to broaden semantic and pragmatic understanding.
- Usage notes.
- List of related terms.
This combination of functions makes the dictionary a real teaching tool, useful both for comprehension and for oral and written production.
Available for all Dexway levels
The IA dictionary is available in all levels and modalities of Dexway courses, from A1 to C1, and in all currently available languages. Its implementation is immediate and requires no additional installation by schools or students.
The AI dictionary adds to the new AI-enabled tools included in Dexway language courses, such as the AI virtual tutor, AI role-play simulations, AI-assessed free speaking and writing tasks, and AI conversation classes.
With the launch of this new AI Dictionary, Dexway is once again at the forefront of technological solutions applied to language learning. This functionality represents a tangible improvement in the learning experience, fostering learner autonomy and facilitating a deep and contextualized understanding of vocabulary with new options compared to the traditional dictionary.
