Features: "Listening and Speaking Course" is one of the core textbooks for "New Horizon College English," divided into levels 1-6, with 10 units per level, suitable for one semester of use. "Listening and Speaking Course" levels 1 and 2 are for the basic stage, requiring students to understand short dialogues, humorous stories, and passages in different contexts, with a focus on training skills in retelling, answering questions, and engaging in conversations. Starting from level 3, the difficulty gradually increases, shifting to topic-centered activities, where students are expected to discuss, debate, comment, and deliver short speeches based on comprehended language materials. The difficulty and length of listening and speaking materials gradually increase, while prompts are reduced, giving students more room for expression. The book is rich in content, and teachers can select listening and speaking materials based on teaching. We recommend using "Listening and Speaking Course" with listening as the focus outside of class and speaking as the focus in class, combining both. "Listening and Speaking Course" is accompanied by CDs and audio tapes.
