Features: According to the characteristics of listening teaching in College English and the English proficiency level of the target learners, this textbook has been revised based on the following principles:
1. The revised edition still emphasizes the training of fundamental listening skills. The initial stage focuses on life-related topics, with gradually increasing difficulty, information volume, and diversity of topics, as well as progressively faster and more challenging answer speeds.
2. The selected materials cover all entries in the syllabus's functional-notional table and the requirements for listening skills and some speaking skills specified in the micro-skill table.
3. While cultivating students' ability to understand basic linguistic units, the textbook gradually enhances their comprehension and proficiency at the discourse level, improving their ability to analyze, summarize, synthesize, and infer from the content they hear.
4. To ensure that the listening speeds meet the syllabus's requirements at each proficiency level, the training speeds used in the textbook are slightly higher than those specified in the syllabus, while the speeds for quizzes and review tests remain consistent with the syllabus's standards.
5. The textbook's exercises are rich and varied, including new question types from the National College English Tests (CET) to comprehensively train and improve students' listening comprehension skills.
6. The revised edition has added an oral practice section, allowing students, under the guidance of their teachers, to conduct basic training in oral expression using the language and content provided in the textbook.
7. The textbook's content strives to be fresh, lively, and engaging, with well-tested and adjusted passages retained while gradually incorporating content reflecting new information. The language is designed to be authentic, vivid, and standardized. This is the second edition of the listening textbook for students. The book consists of 20 lessons and is intended for College English Level 2 students. Every 6 lessons form a unit, focusing on a major listening skill and including a short quiz. After the 20 lessons, a comprehensive review test is provided, which can be used as a simulation exam for the Level 2 listening test.
