生活英语听说2

本书所选的对话与原文，均贴近现实，贴近生活，语言地道，所用词汇绝大多数属于2001年7月开始试用的《英语课程标准》中规定的普通高中生必须掌握的词汇。书中的练习具有很强的可操作性，学生使用起来很方便，对学生的活动既有引导，又没有束缚得太死。学生在对话等练习中，完全可以结合自己的情况灵活应变，这对激发他们的创造性思维，提高综合素质都是很有好处的。各个单元版式的排列也颇具匠心，大量新颖的表格、图片、图画的使用，使语言材料更鲜活地呈现出来，这无疑会激发起学习者的浓厚兴趣。
本书既适合普通高中的学生和水平较高的初中生，也适合具有初级水平的英语学习者自学使用。建议在使用本书时，应坚持把使用英语放在第一位，通过使用英语，来体会语言的规律和语法的规则，而不要过分强调用语言知识讲解的办法来处理各项语言材料。在进度、材料取舍、练习方式的安排上，切记要适合自己学生的实际，该快则快，当慢则慢。只有结合实际灵活地使用教材，才能真正发挥它的作用。

在多年的中学英语教学实践中，我一直盼望能有一本情趣盎 然、材料生动、难易合适、实用性强的教科书。当我读到外语教学 与研究出版社出版的《生活英语听说》(Everyday English)一书时， 我眼前不觉一亮。在当前我国英语教学特别强调培养学生实际使用 英语能力的时刻，这本书确实给人耳目一新的感觉。它融趣味性与 实用性为一体，构思巧妙，具有鲜明的时代特征和英美文化色彩。 它把培养学生在日常生活中的听说读写能力作为主要目标，同时又 兼顾句型结构的掌握和词汇的学习。它的基本编排思路，即题材 (Theme)--功能(Function)—结构(Structure)—任务(Task)，已被英语 教学的实践证明，完全符合外语学习..
