At intermediate level, students want to build their vocabulary quickly. The Oxford Wordpower Dictionary gives them the tools they need to succeed.

It identifies the 3,000 most important words to know in English (the Oxford 3000™). These words are used as the defining vocabulary for the 45,000 words, phrases and meanings, so that explanations are easy to understand.

Each Oxford 3000™ word has a keyword entry, which often includes additional information to enable students to use and understand this essential vocabulary.

The 250 illustrations make it easier to understand difficult or confusing words, and build vocabulary. New Exam Tips help with exam preparation. Writing Tips and the new 16-page Oxford Writing Tutor develop writing skills. Help Notes provide information to help students avoid errors.
