I think distributing word list is acceptable for me but I would like to lighten my students to use dictionaries either(hard-copy) or electronic so that they will not only find the words meaning, but also they will find words' part of speech, their uses of in different context.  In this case the word list without giving more information about words in this sense seems more limited.
