Various editions of language dictionaries place great emphasis on the scope and quantity of word selection. Depending on the function and target audience of the dictionary, the scope and vocabulary size may differ. How many words should an English-Chinese dictionary include? The author must consider at least two factors: first, the commonly used words in daily life and learning activities, as these are the basic vocabulary for daily communication and directly impact children's communication skills; second, the English reading materials accessible to Chinese students, such as fairy tales, character stories, and humorous texts, which should include basic vocabulary. The more than 2,000 words selected for this dictionary meet these two considerations.
Another feature of this dictionary is its emphasis on the communicative function of language. It includes over 100 situational dialogues, which are very beneficial for training children's oral expression skills. In fact, the ultimate function of language from its inception to the present has been communication. In foreign language teaching, it is essential to grasp this tendency from a young age and highlight it—this is the correct approach.
