This is a learners' dictionary on CD-ROM, and it gives users far more than a paper book can. On one portable and affordable disk there are over 50,000 definitions, recorded pronunciations, interactive exercises and powerful search tools too.

There are 2 sets of pronunciation recorded - English and American. This is an excellent feature. The possibility for teachers to set up research tasks for their students is absolutely endless. The prices of electronic dictionaries are plummeting and I would suggest that this one is an essential purchase.' EL Gazette

'The possibility for teachers to set up research tasks for their students is endless. Searches throw up many unexpected aspects of the language. An excellent disk.' Summertown Publishing Newsletter

The CIDE exercises are varied and the result of a principled selection. A manual of the type provided is a handy tool. I like CIDE for its accessibility, its related-word function, the systematic incorporation of British and American English and the good exercise section.' English Today

'For students, the CIDE on CD-ROM is invaluable. For teachers, it is indispensable. Word processor integration allows teachers to cut/copy/paste/print both text and pictures to produce worksheets that are directly relevant to their students' needs, as well as being well-presented and the envy of their colleagues.'
