The New Oxford Picture Dictionary and its components provide a complete, four-skills language development program. The program is:
- Practical - a wide range of topics introduce new words in their most common context.
- Easy to use - vocabulary items are presented without ambiguity or the need for translation.
- Versatile - the Dictionary itself and its components have unlimited applications.
- Flexible - the Dictionary can be used alone or with its components.
It presents over 2,400 of the most useful everyday words on 102 pages of detailed, full-color, contextualized illustrations. Vocabulary is organized under 82 topics, from basics such as food and clothing, to more specific topics such as occupations and public transportation. The words are shown in their most common context. Clear legible type and an average of only 25-35 words per page make the dictionary highly accessible. Nouns, verbs, and prepositional phrases are included. An index lists all vocabulary items with an easy-to-follow-pronunciation guide. A set of four Cassettes features a reading of all the vocabulary items in the dictionary. Nine bilingual editions are also available. The second language appears in blue alongside the English word, with a complete second-language index at the back.
