The
learning focus of Units 7 and 8 is the quick identification and summarization
of the key points and main ideas of some conversations and passages
on the topic of education.
The materials presented in these two units are relatively familiar
to the students. Meanwhile, they also contain some highly practical
and valuable information and advice for foreign language learners.
Therefore, class discussions, both before and after listening, will
prove to be an effective measure for checking what the students already
know, what they are most interested in and what their own experiences
and viewpoints are on the related sub-topics.
Hopefully,
the listening practice in Units 7 and 8 will provide the students
with an opportunity to improve their study habits by careful thinking
and transfer.
