Winner American Inhouse Design Award
309 pages! of Exercises, games and puzzles map page-for-page to the 163 topics and 4,000 words in the Oxford Picture Dictionary, for teenage and adult ESL students of American English.

All the exercises you'll need to teach your low-beginning students, following the Dictionary's units page-for-page. To practise the words on page 23 of the Dictionary you'll turn to page 23 of the book. Each of the 163 topics has its own listening exercises.
Exercises correspond precisely to pages in the Dictionary, making this exceptionally easy to use alongside the main book.
Like the Dictionary, it's highly visual and content is never intimidating.
There's plenty of variety to keep students interested, with the emphasis on making practice fun through puzzle-like activities such as word searches and 'complete the picture'.
Now includes Challenge activities, level-appropriate critical thinking exercises, for the first time at this level. These are standard at the two higher levels.
Contextualized exercises such as labelling, true or false, matching and sequencing provide more of a challenge.
The CDs focus on short conversations and dictations in natural, real-life contexts and can be used in conjunction with the listening activities at the back of the book.

This Workbook is designed for your low-beginning students using the Oxford Picture Dictionary, with activities mapped precisely onto the pages of the main book. 

Content of the Dictionary is organized within 12 thematic units, from Everyday Language, to People, to Housing, to Food, to Recreation. Each unit starts with an 'Intro' page (new to this edition) and ends with a story page, with single or double-page sub-topics introducing new words in a realistic visual context and easy-to-learn 'chunks'. The target new vocabulary is listed, and simple practice activities help students to put their new words into practice. Story pages include pre-reading questions to build previewing and predicting skills, and post-reading questions and role-play activities to support critical thinking and to encourage students to use the new language they have learned. Rich visual contexts recycle words from the unit.
