must-have ! Oxford Picture Dictionary English-Chinese: Bilingual Dictionary for Chinese

Content is organized within 12 thematic units, including Everyday Language, People, Housing, Food and Recreation.

Each unit starts with an Intro page (newly-released 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 uncomplicated-to-learn "chunks."

The target brand-new vocabulary is listed and plain practice activities help students 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 latest language they have learned.

Rich visual contexts recycle words from the unit. This structure is designed to address the needs of multilevel classrooms.

Supporting components include more guidance on this topic as well as assessing needs and lesson planning. (available in English only).
