5.0 out of 5 stars Great for teaching English!, August 5, 1999

Mark Henderson (Bourne, OR USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The New Oxford Picture Dictionary (Monolingual English Edition) (Paperback)

I just returned from Mongolia, where a group was teaching English to the Mongolian children. This was a very valuable tool both for both in-class instruction and indepenent study. The real test is that the New Oxford Picture Dictionary (Monolingual version) was a real hit with the kids!

4.0 out of 5 stars The new oxford picture dictionary, January 8, 2000

Aurora Huerta (US) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The New Oxford Picture Dictionary (Monolingual English Edition) (Paperback)

I have been teaching ESL to Spanish-speaking people for over 6 years and this has been a very useful aid in teaching. Now that I am teaching Spanish to English-speakers it is not as useful as it is when I teach English. Spanish words are not updated and I always have to change at least three words per page.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for ESL or for teens and up learning Spanish, January 2, 2006

Senora Gose (Bryan, Texas) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)

This review is from: The New Oxford Picture Dictionary (Monolingual English Edition) (Paperback)

I used this for several years in my Adult ESL classes - the words, and matching up the numbers are a little cumbersome for any age younger than junior high, I think. The only drawback is the lack of phonetic spelling - I think we expect it from a dictionary, but most picture dictionaries leave that part out for some reason.

This is not a good book for young children - too many things to look at on one page...EXCELLENT resource for adults and teens, though, who are eager to increase vocabulary and are confident with pronunciation. I use it a lot in my Spanish classes, and even as a reference, when wanting to boost the vocabulary list for the week.

For the younger child learning Spanish, try Flip Flop Spanish, which comes with a CD. Or Al reves ingles - which will be out shortly.
