Abstract
In the past two decades, more and more dictionary usage studies havebeen published, but most of them deal with the question what users appreciateabout dictionaries, which dictionaries they use and which information they need inspecific situations. These studies presuppose that users indeed consult lexicographicresources. However, language teachers and lecturers of linguistics often have theimpression that students use too few high-quality dictionaries in their every-daywork. Against this background, we started an international cooperation project tocollect empirical data evaluating that impression. Our aim was to evaluate whatstudents (here from the Romance language area) actually do when they correct lan-guage problems. We used a new methodological setting to do this (screen recording with a thinking-aloud task). The empirical data we gained offers a broad insight intowhat language users really do when solving language-related tasks today
