Features: This writing textbook focuses on teaching the writing of general descriptive and narrative texts, various business letters, as well as memos, analytical explanations, structures, and various types of charts and graphs. This writing textbook also teaches organizational techniques for articles, such as the writing and use of topic sentences, the opening and closing of articles, and the organization of the content order, according to the requirements of the outline for Level 3 writing in terms of article organization and language use. It also teaches the use of language, such as sentence structures and the use of connecting words. New Perspectives in Single-Skill Training is specifically written by the PETS research team for the "National Public English Test (PETS)." The entire set consists of 20 volumes (each volume is approximately 200,000 words), providing single-skill training and guidance for the listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills of PETS Level 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 candidates. This set of textbooks has the following four features:
New and Innovative: The entire textbook series follows a student-centered teaching philosophy, combining the communicative principles of the PETS exam to improve candidates' language communication skills through training. The series breaks away from traditional language structure models, focusing particularly on the practicality of language communication. Its novelty lies in the unity of communicative functions and candidates' communicative needs, meaning: oral communicative functions meet candidates' spoken communication needs, writing techniques meet candidates' written expression needs, and reading and listening comprehension methods meet candidates' information acquisition needs.
Authoritative: The PETS research team is very familiar with all aspects of the PETS exam, including the syllabus, question setting, and scoring criteria, and has conducted specialized research. Therefore, the entire textbook series closely aligns with the syllabi of all PETS levels, accurately grasping the exam principles and requirements for language skills at each level. The main authors have all studied abroad and have a deep understanding of foreign language teaching and testing. They are responsible for the design and writing of language skills at each level, ensuring the authority of the textbooks.
Applicable: The textbook is tailored to the specific needs of PETS candidates, considering their self-study habits. It not only teaches knowledge but also includes skill expansion exercises, vocabulary notes, exercises, and answers. Except for the speaking component, which is designed for two-person group training, the listening, reading, and writing components are aimed at individual learners. Therefore, the explanations and exercises in each volume are tailored to the specific needs of the target readers.
Engaging: The series strives to use humorous English stories, cartoons, games, and interesting anecdotes as teaching materials, making the content lively, visually appealing, and enjoyable, thereby effectively stimulating readers' interest in learning and improving learning outcomes.
