Oxford American Dictionary for learners of English: A dictionary for English language learners (ELLs) with CD-ROM that builds content-area and academic vocabulary

The Oxford American Dictionary helps learners understand what words mean, and how to use them correctly. The content is based on research with teachers in the USA, and is informed by an Advisory Board of language experts comprising Jayme Adelson-Goldstein, Cheryl Boyd Zimmerman, Keith Folse, and Alison Rice. The dictionary identifies the Oxford 3000(TM) keywords, the most important words to know in English. These 3,000 words are used as the defining vocabulary so explanations are easy to understand. The full Oxford 3000(TM) list can be viewed and downloaded from the dictionary CD-ROM to use as a revision checklist or as a basis for a vocabulary syllabus. The Oxford American Dictionary CD-ROM includes the full A-Z dictionary, spoken words, a searchable Picture Dictionary, a Topic Dictionary and the option to create personal word lists. A pop-up Genie gives the meaning of words students find when they are working in Word, in e-mails, and on the Internet.
