"Listen to This" is a series of listening courses developed in accordance with the Teaching Syllabus for the Basic Stage of English Majors in Higher Education and the Teaching Syllabus for the Advanced Stage of English Majors in Higher Education, as promulgated by the Ministry of Education, and tailored to the characteristics of English teaching in China. The entire series is divided into beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels, each accompanied by a Student Book, Teacher Book, and corresponding audio cassettes. Compared to existing listening courses in China, "Listen to This" covers various aspects of daily life and has the following features:
(1) Fresh and original content, entirely selected from authentic English audio materials.
(2) Standard American or British pronunciation, with clear recordings.
(3) Diverse and lively exercise formats, reinforcing training from multiple angles.
This software is designed based on Listen to This: 3 – Advanced English Listening. It perfectly integrates the original Student Book, Teacher Book, and its 7 accompanying audio cassettes, comprising a total of 36 lessons. Each lesson is divided into three parts, covering all exercises from the original book and arranged in a similar structure. The design is highly functional, allowing users to freely select lessons and exercises. Each lesson includes buttons for "Vocabulary," "Answers," and "English Scripts," facilitating pre-listening preparation, on-the-spot answer checking, and access to the English original. Additionally, through the refinement and organization of the original book's glossary, the "Vocabulary" function offers sequential word reading, selective reading, and detailed definitions for each word, with thoughtfully designed intervals for learners to follow along and familiarize themselves with the listening materials.
The question types are rich and varied, primarily including multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank, and writing exercises. Designed to leverage CD-ROM features, they enhance interactivity and intelligence. The software is designed to the greatest extent for ease of use. Additionally, there are English beginner and intermediate listening CD-ROMs available for comprehensive and systematic learning.
This software is particularly suitable for:
1. Senior university students
2. English majors (aligned with the English Level 8 proficiency exam)
