Description
Electronic Dictionaries provide all the valuable information (lexical, semantic and usage-related) for the teacher and the student that traditional dictionaries provide, while at the same time making them more user-friendly and attractive. Students will look for words that appear with different meanings and use them to make crosswords. At the same time, the creation of a crossword per group will build playfulness and promote learning.

Procedure on how to put in practice
- Students are divided into groups and assigned roles.
- They use the link to the online dictionary where they have to find at least 6 words that have different meanings depending on their usage.
- They copy the words with their meanings into a file, following the special function of the dictionary
- They create a crossword online with the words they have chosen and send it by e-mail to the leaders of the other teams.
- Each team solves the other teams' crosswords and makes observations.
Debriefing question: Is the meaning of each word given and unchanging?
