The phrase learner dictionary is typically used to describe monolingual lexical reference tools designed for learners of a second or foreign language (L2). Such dictionaries have been created to support the learning of a number of European and Asian languages, but the best known and most influential learner dictionaries are produced in English, by major publishers in the United Kingdom and, more recently, in the United States. In contrast to bilingual dictionaries, which have been used by language learners for hundreds of years, monolingual learner dictionaries—also known as pedagogical , ELT (English‐language teaching), or EFL (English as a foreign language) dictionaries —are a relatively recent development, spurred by the global demand for English instruction in the 20th century.
