Features: Xu Guozhang's English (Volume 2) is a self-study supplementary textbook based on the 1992 reprinted version of Xu Guozhang's English. The textbooks in Xu's English series start from absolute beginners and cover up to Volume 2, with a total of 57 main and supplementary lessons. There are 60 grammar points, 377 exercises, and approximately 2,500 words. Beginners can complete the course in about a year, mastering listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills while laying a solid foundation in English. This has been proven effective through decades of teaching practice.
Admittedly, this textbook may not fully reflect the trendy English currently popular in society, but it is tailored to the needs of learners who have had no prior exposure to English, especially Chinese learners. It provides step-by-step, well-structured reading materials that are easy to understand and engaging. Combined with clear grammar explanations and straightforward, repetitive exercises, learners can follow along, stay motivated, and develop practical language skills—enjoying the process. This is the fundamental reason why Xu's English remains timeless and why other textbooks fall short.
For this publication, we have made minimal changes to facilitate self-study while largely preserving the original work.
