Details

The Vocabulary Teaching Handbook is a professional development resource and part of the Oxford Picture Dictionary program. 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. Links the content of OPD to independent research into language acquisition, and explains how to apply proven techniques using the program's content Easy-to-use activities to simplify lesson planning.
