The Thematic Picture Dictionary for English Language Learners (Picture Dictionary) has been produced by the NSW Department of Education. It is a resource for students in primary schools, high schools and Intensive English Centres who are in the early stages of learning English.

The Picture Dictionary contains over 400 illustrated words grouped around common themes. It includes words that are frequently used in the classroom and playground. The illustrations can be used not only to build students’ knowledge of these words but also as starting points for communication through creating sentences and developing descriptive language. The dictionary will be useful for all newly arrived students learning English as an additional language regardless of their level of literacy in their first language.

The Picture Dictionary has been designed for individual student use as a reference tool at school or at home to support their English language acquisition.

A companion to the Thematic Picture Dictionary for English Language Learners has been produced and is titled the Thematic Picture Dictionary Workbook for English Language Learners (Workbook). The Workbook uses the Dictionary for its visual text and the units of work follow the sequence of themes in the Picture Dictionary.
