【内容】
为全面培养我国大学生英语实际应用能力,提升英语听说能力,在新世纪初,国家和全国高校外语教学拽导委员会制定颂布了近期新的《大学英语课程教学要求》(试行),为大学英语教学明确了前进的方向。与此同时,对新的大学英语教材的需求与日俱僧。
《大学英语视听说教程》是根据《大学英语课程教学要求》(试行)为大学非英语专业学生设计编写的。主要目标是培养学生的英语听的能力和口头表达能力,同时增强他们的自主学习能力,提高综合文化素养。
全教程共4册,分为学生用书和教师用书。配有相应的录音磁带和电子光盘,提供网络教学平台。每册内容均极其丰富,接近可以作为听说教材独立使用,也可以和北京大学出版社出版的《大学英语教程》配合使用。
本书注重内容的时代性、信息性、趣味性,既跟得上时代的步伐,又贴近生活。注意语言的规范性,题材的广泛性,同时又强调口头语言的特性,力保语言的纯真、地道和活力。
