２０２０年、センター試験は３０年にわたる歴史に幕を下ろしました。出題されたさまざまな英語長文の中で、２００９年に出題された「翻訳者の叔母から英英辞典をプレゼントされた大学生が戸惑いながらも英英辞典のメリットを理解していく」という内容の長文は英語教育関係者の間で話題になり、いまもさまざまなサイトが取り上げています。
冒頭は以下のようになっています。 When I first entered university, my aunt, who is a professional translator, gave me a new English dictionary. I was puzzled to see that it was a monolingual dictionary, which meant that everything was in English. Although it was a dictionary intended for learners, none of my classmates had one and, to be honest, I found it extremely difficult to use at first. （私が大学に入学したとき，翻訳家であるおばが私に新しい英語辞典をくれた。それはすべてが英語で書いてある単一言語辞書(英英辞典)だったため私は戸惑った。それは学習用の辞書だったが、英英辞書をクラスメートの誰も持っていなかったし、実を言うと、最初はとても使うのが難しいと感じた。） 日本の大学生が英英辞典を使うのをとても難しく感じるという困った事態はいまも変わらず、大学受験生も同様です。しかし知らない単語を調べるのに使うではなく、知っている単語の定義を読むようにしていけば英英辞典を使いこなせるようになり大学受験で大いに有利になります。英英辞典の定義文は使用語彙を基本語彙に限定しているため、慣れれば未知語の定義文も難なく理解できるようになります。「上達してから英英辞典を使う」のではなく、「上達するために英英辞典を読む」と考えるべきでしょう。精選されたキーワードの定義文と例文を読んでいくとさらに効率的です。 大学入学共通テスト 時間内で解ける力がつく英英直読英単語・熟語は、８００の例文と大学受験生向けに新作した８００の英英定義文の中に２０００語以上の共通テストのキーワードになる英単語・熟語を網羅的に組み込み、四択問題と英英挟み撃ち問題からなる練習問題にしました。以下は、高校教科書レベルの基本的な単語から大学入学共通テスト 時間内で解ける力がつく英英直読英単語・熟語と全く同じ形式で作成した練習問題です。 高校生のための英英辞典入門(1)～(64)

２０２０年、センター試験は３０年にわたる歴史に幕を下ろしました。出題されたさまざまな英語長文の中で、２００９年に出題された「翻訳者の叔母から英英辞典をプレゼントされた大学生が戸惑いながらも英英辞典のメリットを理解していく」という内容の長文は英語教育関係者の間で話題になり、いまもさまざまなサイトが取り上げています。
冒頭は以下のようになっています。 When I first entered university, my aunt, who is a professional translator, gave me a new English dictionary. I was puzzled to see that it was a monolingual dictionary, which meant that everything was in English. Although it was a dictionary intended for learners, none of my classmates had one and, to be honest, I found it extremely difficult to use at first. （私が大学に入学したとき，翻訳家であるおばが私に新しい英語辞典をくれた。それはすべてが英語で書いてある単一言語辞書(英英辞典)だったため私は戸惑った。それは学習用の辞書だったが、英英辞書をクラスメートの誰も持っていなかったし、実を言うと、最初はとても使うのが難しいと感じた。） 日本の大学生が英英辞典を使うのをとても難しく感じるという困った事態はいまも変わらず、大学受験生も同様です。しかし知らない単語を調べるのに使うではなく、知っている単語の定義を読むようにしていけば英英辞典を使いこなせるようになり大学受験で大いに有利になります。英英辞典の定義文は使用語彙を基本語彙に限定しているため、慣れれば未知語の定義文も難なく理解できるようになります。「上達してから英英辞典を使う」のではなく、「上達するために英英辞典を読む」と考えるべきでしょう。精選されたキーワードの定義文と例文を読んでいくとさらに効率的です。 大学入学共通テスト 時間内で解ける力がつく英英直読英単語・熟語は、８００の例文と大学受験生向けに新作した８００の英英定義文の中に２０００語以上の共通テストのキーワードになる英単語・熟語を網羅的に組み込み、四択問題と英英挟み撃ち問題からなる練習問題にしました。以下は、高校教科書レベルの基本的な単語から大学入学共通テスト 時間内で解ける力がつく英英直読英単語・熟語と全く同じ形式で作成した練習問題です。 左ページ
