Additionally, Neville Grant, the lead editor of the current middle school English textbook Junior English for China, serves as an advisor to the series. Furthermore, dozens of experienced middle school teachers have participated in the review process.
This series is synchronized with middle school English teaching, divided into 6 levels from Grade 7 to Grade 12, with 4 types of books per level: Listening and Speaking, Grammar in Context, Reading Skills, and Reading to Writing. Each book targets one of the four language skills (listening, speaking, reading, writing) and grammar, providing students with practice activities.
We decided to publish this series because the current situation of supplementary teaching materials for middle school English in China is disorganized and of uneven quality, often failing to meet expectations. Many teachers urgently need high-quality supplementary materials. Therefore, we have made significant investments in terms of manpower, resources, and finances, determined to compile a high-quality supplementary series that meets domestic needs and international standards, to alleviate teachers' difficulties and prepare a better series for students to build a solid foundation in English during their middle school years.
