At Wuppertal University researchers have been investigating the influence of portable electronic dictionaries (PED) on EFL learners' language competence and dictionary skills as well as on their motivation and attitude. The MobiDic-Study is a longitudinal study (2011-2014) including learners from one comprehensive school and two secondary modern schools (year 9 to year 10). The paper reports on selected findings from the pre- and post-reading comprehension tests, comparing the results obtained by PED-users to those of print dictionary (PD)-users. In a nutshell, the study shows that the availability of PEDs in lessons leads to a higher look-up rate and a slightly better performance among the PD-users. Furthermore, detailed analysis of six individual cases and their dictionary consultations shows that low-performing students making strategic use of PEDs outperform PD-users, who are less successful in their use of print dictionaries.
