The World’s Leaderin Learner DictionariesLongman learner dictionaries are designed with the student’s needs in mind. Ourcomprehensive range of dictionaries features easy-to-understand definitions, clearexample sentences, and hundreds of supporting photos and illustrations.Every Longman dictionary is based on the latest research and real-life examples takenfrom books, magazines, newspapers, and recordings.What is a learner dictionary?Unlike most dictionaries, learner dictionaries contain non-circular definitions which draw fromlimited, high-frequency vocabulary.A popular standard dictionary provides the following definition:brain (breIn) n. 1. a. The portion of the vertebrate central nervous system, enclosed withinthe cranium and composed of gray matter and white matter, that is the primary center for theregulation and control of bodily activities, the receiving and interpreting of sensory impulses,and the exercising of thought and emotion.The Longman Dictionary of American English provides the following definition:brain1 /brein/ n. 1 [C,U] the organ inside your head that controls how you think,feel, and move.Longman Dictionaries accelerate vocabulary development by: Thousands of examples that show words in context. Words from the Academic Word List help students understandacademic texts. Word Family Boxes that show academic words with the same root. Thesaurus Boxes that explain words with similar meanings, enrichingstudents’ speech and writing. Workbook lessons on best dictionary practices Content-specific words from a variety of subject areas that prepare learnersfor academic coursework.“The Longman dictionaries enable me to prepare target vocabulary instructioneffectively. I rely heavily on these considerate learner dictionaries whilepreparing vocabulary instruction for adolescent English learners and underprepared readers. I count on finding accessible definitions in familiar language,complemented by an example or illustrative sentence within my students’experiential realm.”—Kate Kinsella1Teacher Educator and Program ConsultantSan Francisco State University
