In view of the benefits of both monolingual and bilingual dictionaries, a new type of
dictionary which combines the strong points of a monolingual learner's dictionary with those of a
bilingual dictionary was designed and introduced into some Catalan primary and secondary
schools: the Easy English Dictionary with a Catalan–English Vocabulary. This article looks in detail at
this new kind of dictionary: its philosophy, the way it functions, its advantages over other kinds of
dictionaries and the fact that the monolingual part is specifically aimed at Catalan learners of
English. Additionally, the article deals with the pedagogical functions of illustrations as well as the
adequacy of the dictionary to the lexical needs and requirements of Catalan learners of English in
primary and secondary education.^^^^
