Dictionary Activities is a fantastic teaching resource which explains dictionary features and how to navigate them. The book also covers more complex topics such as collocations, idioms and word building and looks at the use of electronic dictionaries and other non-standard specialized dictionaries such as picture dictionaries. It is also invaluable to any teacher who wants to improve their own knowledge of how dictionaries work. The book contains eight chapters which deal with: Confidence and dictionary skills-building activities, vocabulary-building activities, grammar activities, pronunciation activities, reading and writing activities, quick activities, CD-ROM and electronic dictionary activities and specialized dictionaries.
