Oxford Wordpower Dictionary

English level: Intermediate to Upper-Intermediate Editor: Joanna Turnbull Description A genuine intermediate dictionary, featuring new Wordpower Windows, devised to build vocabulary, accuracy, and confidence. Wordpower focuses on building really useful vocabulary through topics, including 16 pages of colour illustrations in topic groups. Every aspect of the dictionary, from the way the entries are written to the way the information is presented, has been planned to ensure that it is always user-friendly and helpful. How can it be used?  Self-study: e.g. vocabulary building, exam preparation, error correction. In general English classes: promoting learner independence. Key features The Oxford 3000TM - the most useful words to learn - are clearly marked so users can focus on learning the most important words. New vocabulary-building notes give words on particular topics, as well as synonyms for over-used words like nice and good. Help notes give learners the information they need to avoid errors. More notes encourage users to build on what they know. Photos and drawings clarify difficult words or show the difference between similar words. Sixteen pages of colour illustrations show words in topic groups to help build vocabulary. Fourteen pages of activities develop dictionary skills so that learners get the most from the dictionary.
