Features: With the continuous improvement of English teaching quality in secondary schools, the starting proficiency level for college English teaching is also generally increasing. However, in some universities, a portion of students still face difficulties in learning the English Level 1 textbook due to various reasons, with greater challenges in listening. A college English listening preparatory course is needed as a transitional textbook for them.
1. The preparatory listening course for "College English" is compiled into five major sections based on the gap between students' listening proficiency and their vocabulary recognition, as well as their specific difficulties in starting to learn listening.
2. Each section consists of two parts: "Listening and Reading" and "Listening and Practice." The "Listening and Reading" part aims to integrate the three dimensions of sound, form, and meaning of words and sentences through repeated listening and reading, enabling students to combine them into a unified whole. The "Listening and Practice" part is designed to reinforce the learning effects of the "Listening and Reading" section, with practice focusing on the main content of that section.
3. The training focus of the last two units is selected from common phrases in the Level 1 listening course, laying a foundation for students to enter the Level 1 listening learning stage.
4. Given that the content of this course is concise and the difficulty level is relatively low, it can also serve as a supplementary textbook for English listening strengthening training for Chinese-English learners.
