Abstract :

A dictionary could be one of the best tools to help learners to acquire the second language (L2). There are two kinds of dictionaries compared in this study; they are monolingual dictionary and bilingual dictionary. In this case the writer compares both kinds of dictionaries in order to know the impact of using them in a writing course conducted at the senior high school level. This study may help the learners choose the most appropriate dictionary in their learning process. This study applies a quantitative research method. The writer used purposive sampling to get homogenous students’ English proficiency. He used two kinds of tests; they are pre-test and post-test. For calculating the data he used t-test to count the significant difference between those tests. The result of this study showed that both monolingual dictionary and bilingual dictionary did not have significant difference. It means that the monolingual dictionary is as good as the bilingual dictionary. The result of this study also showed that both monolingual dictionary and bilingual dictionary are helpful for students in doing the writing test, even though the result showed that both dictionaries did not significantly increase the students’ scores. Nevertheless, both dictionaries can still help students increase their writing scores. Therefore, the writer suggests that teachers should let his or her students use either a monolingual dictionary or a bilingual dictionary in doing their writing class activities.
