Summary
A new series of three American English dictionaries which take learners from pre-intermediate to advanced level.
Key Features
These dictionaries are the key to academic success. They build language skills, covering the most important words for general and academic English, and developing content area vocabulary for studying other subjects in English.
Additional Information
Definitions use a limited vocabulary so students understand what words mean and examples show how words are used. Reference pages provide information on punctuation, irregular verbs, etc. Colour illustrations make it easy to understand more difficult words.
Dictionary CD-ROMs available at each level, only with the dictionary. It’s easy to search the full A-Z and picture dictionary using the CD-ROM for each level.
Students can also:
- Hear words spoken (and spoken sample sentences at Basic level) and practise pronunciation using the ‘Record your own voice’ facility.
- Focus on content area vocabulary with the Topic Dictionary.
- Create personal word lists with My Topics.
- Look up words on Internet pages, in Word documents, or emails using the Oxford Genie.
Oxford iWriter on the CD-ROM (not available at Basic level). Oxford iWriter shows students how to plan, write, and review their written work. The model for each task type shows how to plan and structure the writing and Language Banks show students how to express opinions, sound objective, be more formal, etc. The Oxford iWriter provides the framework to structure the writing, and guidance for every stage of the writing process. Students use the checklist to review their work, before saving it as a Word document to print out and hand in to their teacher.
