Oxford Collocations Dictionary for Students of English

The Oxford Collocations Dictionary helps students produce more natural sounding English. The dictionary improves students' accuracy by showing them the words that work together in both British and American English. Using the dictionary develops a better awareness of which words combine and how, helping students express their ideas naturally and convincingly.

The dictionary is an essential tool for improving students' writing, and is highly recommended for students preparing for the Cambridge ESOL First Certificate or Proficiency Exam, IELTS, or studying other subjects in English which require writing in English e.g. reports for a science subject, economics.
