Abstract

The Robert Electronique is the CD-ROM version of the nine volume Grand Robert, roughly the French equivalent of the OED. This article outlines a project to produce some learning materials using this lexical database. It describes various types of exercises ranging from the semantic to the stylistic. Most of the exercises can be completed on screen within a wordprocessing application and can be done by a student working independently. The activities exploit as far as possible features specific to the CD-ROM version of the dictionary.
