Created especially for students of English as a Second Language, the Cobuild dictionary reflects the way English is actually written and spoken today. The new edition contains 70,000 references with special emphasis on 3000 of the most commonly used English words. The Cobuild dictionary is unique because of the method of compilation, arrangement of entries, and treatment of the language, all of which emphasize real English usage. Other important features of this new edition include: full sentence explanations, the absence of jargon and symbols, grammatical information, 100,000 newly chosen real examples, 400 new words and meanings, and differentiation between British and American English.

Through a collaborative initiative, Collins COBUILD and Heinle are co-publishing a dynamic new line of learner's dictionaries offering unparalleled pedagogy and learners' resources. The first Collins COBUILD dictionary was published in 1987, thanks in part to John Sinclair, one of the very first modern corpus linguists who personally oversaw the creation of the Bank of English. Every COBUILD dictionary is based on the Bank of English, a huge electronic database of both written and spoken language, which today contains over 650 million words.
I have always recommended Cobuld dictionaries to my students in the past, and they have usually been very satisfied with the choice. EFL teacher, Dorset I personally find illustrative sentences in Cobuild dictionaries very helpful both to understand the meaning of a word and to learn how to use it correctly. Japanese teacher
