The title of my PhD dissertation was A model for a comprehensive electronic school dictionary for South African primary school learners. In this dissertation, I discussed the need for a more comprehensive school dictionary in South Africa, as most learners do not have English as a first language, although they are taught exclusively in English. I then designed and tested dictionary entries that would offer primary school learners more support. These entries would be compiled as an electronic dictionary, as they rely on audio and hyperlinks, as well as the space that is insufficient in a printed dictionary.
