NEW! Review from SATEFL Newsletter - Autumn 2003 COMMENTS BY TEACHERS AND WRITERS I
received your dictionary a few days ago and I really like it! The
presentation is very clear and I can learn a lot of new words. It is a
pleasure to look at it! Thank you very much for this very good tool! Thanks
a lot for your lessons and for your generous and unlimited support. I've
been using your materials for two years already in my grammar, newspaper
English, environmental issues and conversational classes. The variety of
teaching materials you offer is amazing, and they make my classes more
interesting both for me and my students. Lots of thanks from my
colleagues too. I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful
Macmillan Essential Dictionary and CD-ROM that you sent me. I’ve been using it and it’s really useful; it has plenty of activities to do that meet my needs. It’s worth working with it! Thanks again!
The
Macmillan Essential Dictionary is very good and has
interesting, helpful features for using it
in a proper way. I'll recommend it to my
students. I’ve been carrying
the advanced level into my university classes since I bought it, and
will definitely carry the Essential to use it with my secondary
students. People who are not
used to using dictionaries get great help from the layout, especially
the introductory (menu) boxes, and from the short and clear definitions. The major advantage
of this dictionary is that it bridges the gap between mere looking up of
unfamiliar words and more active, production-oriented interaction, thus
leading to more successful, awareness-building vocabulary learning. The new
Macmillan
Essential Dictionary is an accessible and appealing addition to our
classroom reference tools. My students found it easy to understand the
clear definitions supported by concise example sentences. I especially
liked the coloured boxes, which draw the reader's attention to multiple
meanings, collocations, synonyms and word families; a feature that
promotes independent learning as well as facilitates ease of use. I was
impressed to find clear grammatical reference notes integrated into the
main text for those learners who want to explore the language in a
little more depth. Ask this dictionary,
and you may not need to ask your teacher. |
