'Qu 'est-ce Que C'est?

This beginner's picture dictionary has three important elements for learning, remembering, and fixing meanings of new words that many dictionaries lack -- it is reproducible, extremely interactive, and has a vital listening component. The vocabulary is organized into 24 themes such as clothes, school, and home. Readers are introduced to the new words in the picture dictionary and can hear how they are pronounced on the cassette. Then they follow the instructions, connecting the images to find the mystery object hidden in the dots. Each race to get the mystery picture is a motivating exercise that makes learning new vocabulary completely pain-free. There is no complex grammar to manipulate, just nouns and pictures. Because the themes are reproducible, you can mix and match the activities to tie the themes in with your own teaching and the units in your text.
