"College English" (New Edition) Listening & Speaking Course is a textbook designed for non-English majors in the 21st century. The course aims to enhance students' comprehension at the discourse level, improve their ability to analyze, summarize, judge, and infer from listening materials, and comprehensively develop their listening and speaking skills. The course focuses on the following five key points during its development:
1. Maintaining discourse training as the main thread throughout. From the beginning, it cultivates students' ability to identify the main idea and key points during listening and encourages them to develop this habit.
2. Changing the traditional practice of providing new words and phrases for each material in textbooks.
3. Including optional materials in all exercises to facilitate differentiated instruction.
4. Providing students with diverse speaking practice materials. Students can engage in oral activities based on the language provided in LanguageFocus, CommunicativeFunction, AdditionalVocabulary, and ModelDialogues.
5. Ensuring the organic integration of each part and its horizontal connection with the comprehensive textbook.
