Oxford Picture Dictionary English-Spanish: Bilingual Dictionary for Spanish speaking teenage and adult students of English (Oxford Picture Dictionary 2E) by Jayme Adelson-Goldstein (2008-06-23)

Publisher: Oxford University Press, January 1, 2009.
Edition: Second
Book Condition: New
Binding: Paperback
ISBN: 9780194740173

Content is organized within 12 thematic units, including Everyday Language, People, Housing, Food, and 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 that introduce new words in realistic visual contexts and easy-to-learn "chunks."

The target new vocabulary is listed, and simple practice activities help students use their new words.

Story pages include pre-reading questions to build previewing and predicting skills, plus post-reading questions and role-play activities to support critical thinking and encourage students to use the new language they 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)
