Dictionary Activities is a fantastic teaching resource which helps students get to know their dictionaries by explaining dictionary features and how to navigate them. The book also covers more complex topics such as collocations, idioms and word building. Dictionary Activities also looks at the use of electronic dictionaries and other non-standard specialized dictionaries such as picture dictionaries.
This book is an invaluable tool for developing collocational sensitivity. It was first published in 1981 and later in 1995.

Ideal as a supplementary material for CAE or CPE preparation classes.
