The Oxford ESL Dictionary for learners of English helps students
understand the meanings of words and how to use them correctly. It
includes 42,000 words, phrases, and meanings and 35,000 examples to show
how words are used. The dictionary marks the Oxford 3000TM words (the
most important words to know in English), content area vocabulary (math,
social studies, science, etc), and Academic Word List words. The Oxford
Writing Tutor (included in the print dictionary) and the Oxford iWriter
on the CD-ROM show students how to plan, write, and review different
types of writing. The dictionary helps students: * Understand what
words mean by using defining vocabulary containing words that students
already know. * Build vocabulary and achieve academic success. *
Improve writing skills with Oxford iWriter and Oxford Writing Tutor. *
Focus on the Academic Word List and the Oxford 3000TM
