The scenes in this textbook include airports, homes, campuses, classrooms, dormitories, libraries, shops, restaurants, parks, and more. The background cultural short videos are compiled from the author's life materials filmed in the United States. Due to the design of a core character—Wang Xin, a student studying in the United States—who runs through the entire textbook, each scene is organically connected. Additionally, the conversational content is universal, and the language is practical, providing Chinese students with a comprehensive and authentic language learning environment and the "authentic" language used by different characters in real-life scenarios. This helps students broaden their horizons and improve their communication and adaptability skills in real-world situations.
This textbook focuses on combining knowledge points with students' weak areas and interests in content and language. It integrates language knowledge, skills, and Eastern and Western cultures into every scene dialogue and related cultural introduction, consistently emphasizing the cultivation of students' cultural literacy through various communication activities. At the same time, it emphasizes creating a relaxed and lively learning atmosphere, stimulating students' interest in learning English through vivid language, interesting content, and convenient interactive exercises, enabling them to improve their English listening and speaking skills progressively and effortlessly.
This textbook includes a student book, a multimedia CD-ROM, and a teacher book. The paper-based textbook primarily highlights textual information, while the CD-ROM maximizes the effectiveness of sound, images, and graphics. From the writing philosophy, cultural perspective, overall structure, content arrangement, and media linkage of the communicative activity design in the paper-based textbook to the functional design, technical synthesis, interactive function implementation, and media material presentation on the CD-ROM—from text to sound, images, and graphics—all aspects ensure the unity and completeness of the textbook's structural system. The textbook and CD-ROM complement each other, each with its own unique features, achieving comprehensive innovation in three-dimensional teaching materials.
The design of this textbook is based on a computer and classroom-based English multimedia teaching model, emphasizing personalized teaching and focusing on cultivating students' language application skills and self-directed learning abilities.
