Oxford Picture Dictionary English-Arabic: Bilingual Dictionary for Arabic-speaking teenage and adult students of English

By Jayme Adelson-Goldstein

Second Edition, published by Oxford University Press

Content is organized into 12 thematic units: Everyday Language, People, Housing, Food and Recreation.

Each unit begins with an Intro page (new to this edition) and concludes with a story page. Sub-topics within the units introduce new words in realistic visual contexts using simple “chunks.”

New vocabulary is listed, followed by practice activities that enable students to apply their newly learned words.

Story pages feature pre-reading questions to enhance previewing and predicting skills, post-reading questions, and role-play activities designed to foster critical thinking and encourage the use of acquired language.

The rich visual contexts in the book recycle words from each unit. This structure caters to multilevel classroom settings.

Additional components provide guidance on assessing needs and lesson planning (available only in English).
