《视听说教程(2 学生用书 第3版)》每个单元由Lesson A(Listening&Speaking)和Lesson B(Video Course)构成。
Lesson A从**节到第四节,详细设计了语言点的引入、交际功能表达法的介绍、题材的介绍等等。**节Vocabulary Link是介绍与本节题材与交际功能有关的词汇和短语,第二节Listening是结合情景与交际功能进行听力练习,第三节Pronunciation为语音训练提供基本知识和示范,第四节Speaking&Communication结合情景与交际功能进行听和说的综合练习,将这些材料有机结合,在课堂里进行操练和仿说练习,帮助学生有效提高听和说的能力。教材每单元内容比较充裕,如果按计划进行听和说的操练,一般学校能够在课堂时间内完成教材内容。但有些学校如果因为班级太大,在课堂内组织口语练习确有困难,可以根据实际情况对内容进行选择,把课内时间集中在听力练习上,**发展学生的英语听解能力。对于班级里英语程度比较好的有条件的学生,可鼓励他们在课外通过网络课件进一步进行听、说操练,全面提高英语听、说能力。
