Abstract

A major concern our research addresses is how to enhance the children's use of the Arabic dictionary to encourage them to independently learn more vocabulary. Even though the first Arabic dictionary was developed almost 1500 years ago, the state of the art in Arabic dictionaries has not made much progress and falls far behind dictionaries for other languages. We propose a framework for building dictionaries that are game-like in their level of interactivity, and thus provide an immersive environment for children to enthusiastically explore more concepts, images, and vocabulary.
