Customer Reviews

A great dictionary for intermediate ESL, not for TOEFL!

I am a professional ESOL instructor and think that this dictionary is one of the best. However, it is not the easiest dictionary to use and understand because the language and definitions are not as clear and simple as the language and definitions in other ESL dictionaries.Even though this is a good dictionary, I do NOT use it with my students for one reason: the English in this dictionary is closer to British English and most of my students need to study American English, especially my TOEFL students. So, if you are studying TOEFL, I would NOT recommend this dictionary.However, if you are an intermediate ESL student or above, and are studying international English, this dictionary is one of the best and the price is great!
