Foreign language teaching dictionaries are compiled for the need of foreign language learning. The entries include different kinds of information learners need. Therefore, it is very helpful for learners to have a clear picture of information arrangement in dictionaries so as to interpret and grasp the needed knowledge. It is also helpful for learners to improve their communicative competence. However, the author's research shows that the majority of learners are either blind in choosing a dictionary or unclear about the dictionary structure. As a result, they are unable to utilize dictionaries effectively.
