Abstract
Most students of Japanese Studies at the Juraj Dobrila University of Pula are digital natives, and their digital literacy is further enhanced by the availability of a large number of Japanese language resources, both in the form of mobile and smartphone applications and in the form of websites, computer assisted language learning tools and other multimedia tools. As most of these resources use Japanese and English language, it has been noticed that the students need bilingual Japanese-Croatian dictionaries and other Japanese language resources with explanations, translations, and additional information in their native language as well. The aim of this paper is twofold: 1) to present pilot projects for the development of Japanese- Croatian bilingual e-dictionaries in cooperation with students and teachers of Juraj Dobrila University of Pula and with the help of an open platform for e-dictionary development Lexonomy (Měchura 2017), 2) to analyze the survey and identify trends in the use of existing dictionaries, electronic dictionaries and other resources as well as the needs of Japanese language students for the planned more extensive Japanese-Croatian e-dictionary with an objective to develop a model of that e-dictionary.
