| Brief Description: | Recommended for all beginning and intermediate students.
The Oxford Picture Dictionary is an extremely useful tool for all beginning students of English. Its colorful pictures and scenes can help anyone learn English. Perfect as an ESL reference for classroom or home study.
When students begin to learn a new language there is a crucial need to develop a basic core vocabulary. Without this basic vocabulary, even day-to-day survival is very difficult. The New Oxford Picture Dictionary is perhaps the best means to bring a student this core vocabulary. Thousands of everyday words and corresponding scenes and pictures are included in this book. If you are teaching in an ESL situation, this book will save you many hours of fumbling around trying to explain vocabulary to students who can't understand you.
2,400 words and color pictures, 82 topics (fruits, anatomy, geography, etc.). Cassettes, transparencies, and workbooks available. Pictures convey meaning more clearly than words alone. The English/Korean Oxford Picture Dictionary presents over 2,400 words in both English and Korean, clearly depicted on 102 pages of full-color, contextualized illustrations. Vocabulary is introduced within 82 topics, which range from basics as food, clothing, and shelter to more specific topics such as the space program, occupations, and sports. An English index includes all the vocabulary words with a clear, easy-to-follow pronunciation guide. A second index in Korean is also included. The dictionary can be used at all levels, by all ages, to teach all language skills. With the components, it provides a complete language development program. It's an invaluable resource every student and teacher needs to have. |
