This review is from: The Basic Oxford Picture Dictionary, 2nd Edition: Teacher's Resource Book of Reproducible Activities (Paperback)

I teach a literacy-level class, with a Basic Oxford Picture Dictionary for each table, and the reproducible worksheets from the corresponding Literacy Program. Next year I may try to incorporate the activities from this resource book. It includes tapescripts for the listening activities, and I might choose to read them myself, perhaps modified, rather than use the corny Focused Listening CD that can be purchased separately. There are ample instructions for the teacher, and concise instructions for the students, but I think the worksheets are complex and require substantial scholastic skills. Too difficult for those of my students who weren't educated in their home country, and for some of my senior students.

I work with a group of refugees from Rwanda, Burundi, Congo and Cuba - teaching English. This dictionary has proved to be a wonderful aid in helping people to know what word to use. It is clear, not insulting to adults, and a very big help.
