Those who support the use of the Electronic dictionary presume that it is more useful with receptive and productive tasks. They also argue that it is a better learning tool since its use affects students' withholding of meaning and gives higher chances for more effective recovery of learned words. (Dziemianko A. 2010)
Additionally, others argue that dictionaries stop students thinking in context and can create a great distraction in the classroom. Students tend to consider words as separate and not related, so they do not consider the context in which the words exist but rather check the meanings of all the words. Therefore, students disregard the very important skill in reading which is using the context to infer meanings.
