Longman Dictionary of American English

"The Longman dictionaries enable me to prepare target vocabulary instruction efficiently and effectively. I rely heavily on these considerate learner dictionaries while preparing vocabulary instruction for adolescent English learners and under-prepared readers.
I can count on finding accessible definitions in a familiar language, complemented by an example or illustrative sentence within my students' experiential realm."
