In this Issue

Welcome to the 12th issue of MED Magazine, the monthly webzine of the Macmillan English Dictionaries resource site!

This month we conclude the series on Language Interference with an article about language interference at sentence level. The article discusses common problems students run into when they are building sentences in English.

Autumn is the theme of the New Word column in this issue. In this article you can read about new words such as pumpkineer and
leaf-peeping.

In the feature article, we continue exploring the common differences between British and American English. This month we take a look at the vocabulary of housing.

The Language Awareness article examines some of the most frequent types of differences between British and American English spelling and grammar.

The top tips column in this issue looks at wordlists and activities. The article explains how students can practise topic-related vocabulary using wordlists and activities on the Macmillan Essential Dictionary CD-ROM.
