Introduction

Webster's Crossword Puzzles are edited for three audiences. The first audience consists of students who are actively building their vocabularies in either Macedonian or English in order to take foreign service, translation certification, Advanced Placement® (AP®) or similar examinations. By enjoying crossword puzzles, the reader can enrich their vocabulary in anticipation of an examination in either Macedonian or English. The second includes Macedonian-speaking students enrolled in an English Language Program (ELP), an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) program, an English as a Second Language Program (ESL), or in a TOEFL® or TOEIC® preparation program. The third audience includes English-speaking students enrolled in bilingual education programs or Macedonian speakers enrolled in English speaking schools.

TOEFL®, TOEIC®, AP® and Advanced Placement® are trademarks of the Educational Testing Service which has neither reviewed nor endorsed this book.

This edition is for Level 1 vocabulary, where the higher the level number, the more complicated the vocabulary. Though highly entertaining, if not addictive, this crossword puzzle book covers some 700 translations. In this book, hints are in Macedonian, answers are in English. This format is especially fun (or easiest) for people learning Macedonian; the format is most instructive, however, for people learning English (i.e. the puzzles are a good challenge). Within each level, the puzzles are organized to expose players to shorter and more common words first. Subsequent puzzles mostly build on these using longer and more complicated vocabulary. Learning a language is always difficult. To ease the pain, hints are provided in small script at the bottom of each page, though these are selected to prevent an engineered solution to the puzzle. Players need to learn the meanings of the words in order to place them correctly. Full solutions are provided in the back of the book. These two features (hints and verifiable solutions), force the reader to decipher a word's meaning and serves to improve vocabulary retention and understanding. Translations are extracted from Webster's Online Dictionary. Further definitions of remaining terms as well as translations can be found at www.websters-online-dictionary.org. Enjoy!

Description

Even if you do not like traditional crossword puzzles, you will love these. Designed to help anyone learning Macedonian, or Macedonian speakers learning English, these puzzles are absolutely addictive. They are formatted in such a way that each puzzle can be solved in 15 to 30 minutes, while exposing you new vocabulary in each puzzle. The folks at Webster’s Online Dictionary helped make the vocabulary gradually harder across puzzles thus increasing the challenge as you progress. These are truly pleasant crossword puzzles for language learning, and well worth the price.
