The keys to unlocking literacy and learning

From home to school and everyhwere in between, language is at the heart of learning. At Oxford, we firmly believe that dictionaries are the keys to unlocking literacy and learning. They help people to understand their mother tongue better, assist them when learning an additional language and help speakers of other languages excel in their studies when learning through the medium of English. Each page in an Oxford dictionary celebrates language and the opportunities a broad vocabulary can provide.
