　　“ 初階英語聽講練習” is a comprehensive split edition coursebook for students in their f irst year of vocational high school to develop their listening and speaking skills. The book provides a broad collection of topics based on real-world situations and various activities promoting interaction with peers. In “ 初階英語聽講練習,” students can use and improve their English skills to build f luency in their everyday English conversations.

?

　　Each unit has two main listening texts. For each listening text, students are guided through a set of steps: before you listen, while you listen, and after you listen. These help students learn how to listen and understand spoken English.

?

　　After the two listening texts in each unit, there is a speaking section that teaches a grammar point, a pronunciation rule, and a speaking tip. At the end of each unit, students take what they have learned and use it to practice creating a conversation with a partner. Once they have completed this, they will perform the conversation to the class. As a f inal task, students are asked to assess how well they did and how much they learned.

?

　　In this innovative way, “ 初階英語聽講練習” will help students explore the world around them and sharpen their English skills.
