Michael,
Had that happen a few years ago when we experienced an influx of Japanese
students who didn't have enough English to hack it here. Discovered that
they were depending on the very detailed dictionary definitions of terms.
Got a local person whose wife was Japanese to examine the dictionary in
question. It was concluded that using that dictionary was equivalent to
letting English speaking students take an open book test.
