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.

Accordingly, 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.

With this app you can:
  • Look up a word to find the words which are commonly used with it, i.e. its collocations.
  • Use Full Text Search to find all entries and collocations that contain your search word
  • Improve your writing by learning collocations such as 'magnificent scenery' instead of 'nice scenery
  • Learn what works best in British and American English
  • Get definitions and pronunciations of unfamiliar words.
  • Create your own list of words or add words to the pre-loaded topic lists
