來源:香港大書城megBookStore,http://www.megbook.com.hk 本教材的重心依旧是帮助学习者掌握标准的英语发音,提升英语口语和听力能力。我们知道,清晰的发音是有效沟通的基础,很多学习者在交流中常常因为发音不准而导致误解。作为解决这一问题的实践者,我们希望通过这本书,帮助每一位学习者清楚地理解发音之间的细微差别,达到听说能力的双向提升。
在这一版中,我们在保留原有优良结构的基础上,对语料进行了全面的更新与改编,内容更为丰富且重点更加突出。我们引入了灵活的教学方法,结合现代学习的需求,使课堂教学与自主学习之间的界限更加模糊,极大增强了教材的可操作性。特别值得一提的是,本版首次采用四色印刷,配以精美的彩色图片,使学习内容更加生动直观,帮助学习者更好地理解和掌握发音技巧。
