When students begin to learn a new language there is a crucial need to develop a basic core vocabulary. 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. Cassettes, transparencies, and workbooks available.
Pictures convey meaning more clearly than words alone.
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. 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.
