FEATURES

ú It's not enough to know the right vocabulary - students also have to know which words go together if they want to sound natural. The Oxford 3000 keywords, together with the new the Academic Word List, content area words, Topic Collocation boxes, and the synonym information gives students exactly the right tools to develop the vocabulary that is most relevant to their needs.


ú Our research showed that illustrations help students quickly understand difficult words - even at an advanced level. We included over 600 color illustrations to complement words students find most challenging.


ú The dictionary includes a full-featured CD-ROM with access to the complete A-Z dictionary, all illustrations, a topic dictionary, quick word lookup with the Oxford Genie, and spoken headwords along with record and playback functions to practice pronunciation


ú The interactive Oxford iWriter (available on CD-ROM) guides students through the stages of planning, writing and reviewing a range of different written tasks. There are 11 writing models, showing structure, notes and sample content. There's advice on choosing the right language, how to use language in order to sound more formal, more objective, or to avoid repetition. When students start their own writing, they choose their task type from the list of 15 options for academic and professional use.
