4.0 out of 5 stars
Great dictionary/thes. for teaching English as a Second Langauge,
By Caroline Dempsey "Caroline" (Helena, AL United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Webster's New World(tm) Dictionary and Thesaurus, Second Edition (Paperback)
I used this book with intermediate/ advanced English speakers as an ESL teacher. My fav feature is having a thesaurus listing for most words on the bottom of the dictionary page - this helps vocabualry acquisition. I've used this book on 2 continents, and my only complaint is that it's a bit bulky for mailing overseas or carrying to class, everyday. As a desk reference, however, this book is great. It also contains a pronunciation key for each word with IPA symbols. The definitions are simple and easy to comprehend.

A must have for all writers and students.,

This review is from: Webster's New World(tm) Dictionary and Thesaurus, Second Edition (Paperback)
What makes this particular resource so valuable is that each page of the book has the dictionary section on top and the thesaurus section on the bottom. So, if you're looking up the definition of a word you don't have to hunt around in another section of the book for a similar word - it's on the same page.

Great for students and writers- very concise but thorough.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Webster's New World Dictionary and Thesaurus (Hardcover)
Readable and useful. I have used this with my own children and students - It is nice having a hardbound book with all that is needed in it rather than using 2 volumes. Clear Print and up-to- date
