All non-native English speakers should have a learner’s dictionary. Dictionaries present English word definitions using a basic vocabulary, so that non-native speakers will find it easier to understand the explanation of each word and its appropriate usage. The Graduate Online Writing Studio recommends the following dictionaries:
Oxford Learner’s Dictionary of Academic English
Cambridge Learner’s Dictionary
Merriam-Webster Learner’s Dictionary
We also encourage ESL and ELL students to use the Graduate Online Writing Studio every week. Students can find video directions here and our consultation form here.
