The app shows students the most frequently used word combinations (in both British and American English). Developing a better awareness of how words work together improves students’ accuracy and helps them produce more natural sounding English – enabling students to express their ideas convincingly and naturally.
The app is a great tool for improving students’ writing – it is highly recommended for students preparing for exams or studying other subjects in English which require writing in English.
The key features of the Oxford Collocations Dictionary for Students of English app include:
250,000 word combinations, 9000 nouns, verb and adjective collocations.
75,000 examples showing how collocations are used.
25 usage notes on collocations shared by words such as seasons, currencies, and language.
17 topic lists – grouping words in useful subject groups, such as business, clothes and food – which students can edit.
Students can create and edit their own word lists.
Unfamiliar with a word? Tap any word in the dictionary for a pop-up definition and pronunciation by real British and American voices.
