The "English Speaking Course" is divided into two volumes, aiming to provide students with a progressive, comprehensive, and systematic training in oral skills. The two volumes are an integral whole, each with its own focus but interconnected. The first volume emphasizes communicative function training, starting with cultivating students' enthusiasm and habit of speaking English actively, gradually transitioning to developing the habit of thinking in English and learning to express ideas coherently in English. The second volume primarily focuses on training in English speech and English debate, enabling students to systematically and coherently express their opinions and engage in discussions, thereby enhancing both their oral skills and critical thinking abilities.
