Features: "Introduction to Listening 2000" is divided into four volumes. It is designed for English majors in colleges and universities for listening courses, and can also be used by postgraduate students, undergraduate students, and scientific and technological personnel with high English proficiency as well as other English learners. "Introduction to Listening 2000" is an extension of "Introduction to Listening." It still adheres to the principle of emphasizing both content and listening skills, focusing on the authenticity and typicality of the selected materials. It consistently prioritizes the development of students' listening comprehension and thinking abilities. Thanks to the joint efforts of the Foreign Language Editing Office, Audiovisual Department, and related design and layout personnel of East China Normal University Press, the appearance, layout, pictures, colors, and recordings of "Introduction to Listening 2000" are all refreshingly new. "Introduction to Listening 2000" goes beyond "Introduction to Listening." It adopts entirely new listening materials and pays more attention to the overall thematic layout across the four volumes. With a human-centered approach, it revolves around the student as the main subject, striving to reflect the inherent relationship between the content learned at each stage and human development, guiding students to understand the ever-changing objective world and solidly develop themselves. In terms of listening skills, "Introduction to Listening 2000" continues to emphasize the training of micro-skills and comprehensive skills, and attempts to analyze the essence of listening from a theoretical perspective in the form of short lectures, highlighting key points to help students overcome potential psychological issues and listening barriers. "Language Appreciation and Language Learning" is another creative feature of "Introduction to Listening 2000." This section in the textbook appropriately summarizes English idioms or other elegant language expressions from relevant chapters, demonstrating learning methods and encouraging knowledge accumulation, allowing students to further appreciate the beauty and joy of English listening learning.
