课程简介
语言最重要的功能就是交流。在交流中我们要知道如何开始一个对方感兴趣的话题，回答别人的提问，自然、流畅地完成一个对话。本课程选取了8个主题，由50多位来自美国、英国、加拿大、澳大利亚、哥伦比亚、中国的老师及各个年龄段的学生，在真实的场景中，用地道的表达和纯正的英语，带你谈论日常生活、学习的方方面面。 本课程分为八个单元，每个单元有一个主题，分别是： 1、个人信息的介绍与交换 2、我们的家人和朋友 3、饮食与用餐 4、英语学习的目的和方法 5、假日活动和难忘的经历 6、兴趣爱好 7、情感表达 8、保持健康 每个主题由十余组对话和小组讨论，外籍老师的中西方文化差异介绍，中国老师的重点词汇、句型讲解，听力理解练习和口语测试构成。我们希望，通过本门课程的学习和练习，你可以和讲英语的朋友们自如地交谈、讨论与各主题相关的话题。本课程的学习方法有很多。英语学习者可以在反复地听和跟读对话的过程中，不断积累语言素材，和你身边的朋友或同课程的学习者进行对话练习；英语教师可以选用本课程中适合的主题，组织学生进行听说训练，组织高效课堂。也许你不能理解每段对话的全部内容，只需听懂大意，随着课程的进展，我们希望你能听懂的内容越来越多。
