	Abstract: Criteria for Dictionary Workbooks in Afrikaans. This article reflects on the role of dictionary workbooks in the skills training of users in Afrikaans. Dictionary workbooks are usually directed at a specific school or learners' dictionary and in this way links up with pedagogical lexicography. The main purpose of workbooks should thus be an educational one. Although pedagogical lexicography is generating more interest in South Africa, very little attention has been paid to the important role of dictionary workbooks. Dictionary workbooks should be very user oriented, since they are compiled for specific target users using a specific dictionary. The purpose of dictionary workbooks is identified in this article by analysing various workbooks in the Afrikaans context. On closer investigation it was found that workbooks could have diverse purposes and could contain diverse contents. Workbooks are aimed at making target users more dictionary literate, i.e. to be able to use dictionaries meaningfully and to unlock information successfully. The manner, in which information in workbooks is presented and thus conveyed, reflects certain educational approaches in language and how they can find shape in workbooks. When an educational approach is successfully applied, the expectations are that user skills should be improved. Hence reference is also made to the development of certain skills.
