Summary
The Cambridge School Dictionary is a brand new dictionary designed to meet the needs of students studying through the medium of English, reflecting the growing popularity of CLIL (Content Language Integrated Learning) throughout the world. Particularly aimed at those taking International GCSE exams, the Cambridge School Dictionary gives you over 2000 curriculum based entries, from geography and anatomy to finance and literature, carefully selected by specialist teachers and checked by curriculum experts.
As well as having each word defined in clear, simple language, the Cambridge School Dictionary contains hundreds of illustrations and diagrams for when processes such as the nitrogen cycle or the digestion of food can be better understood in visual form. It also contains a unique Extra Help section, giving you tips on such matters as working with numbers, charts and graphs, and how to prepare for exams.
Also in the Extra Help section are ten pages of exercises focusing on school subjectbased vocabulary and collocation, giving you the language you need to write or talk fluently and confidently about school subject areas such as photosynthesis, computing and the solar system. This helps you to reinforce your learning and to improve your English through your practice of subject-specific vocabulary.
All of the words relating to curriculum areas have been labelled with ‘school subject’ labels such as language, geology, religious studies and physics (see the inside front cover for a full list of these).
