内容简介
听说与读写并重:
该系列丛书分《听说》(Focus on Listening and Speaking)和《读写》(Focus on Reading and Writing)两大系列。其中《听说》的每个单元设置七大版块。大量操练听说,将听力理解能力与表达能力完美结合。
教学模式更体现交互式、个性化、自主性:
课本、光盘、网络互为补充,强调互动式学习。注重把教师与学生之间、学生与学生之间的反馈通过练习轻松、自然地反映出来,既有利于提高教学质量、活跃课堂气氛、评估学生学习效果,又激发学生的学习兴趣、提倡自主学习、促进学习效率。配套学习网站(www.longman.com/northstar)免费提供网上资源库、教师指导、网上阅读、写作、听说练习等。
注重培养应用能力,非应试教育:
着重生活工作中需要的技能,如:演讲、场景对话、走出教室实战练习、信件、总结、学术小论文等。
编写思路明确,编写人员水平出众:
遵循外国人学习英语的普遍规律,由著名美国教育专家Frances Boyd 和Carol Numrich主持、召集英美30多位常年从事对外英语教学的专家和教师编写。
语言真实地道,文化信息量大;主题相关,便于巩固:
注重把语言技能的训练与知识文化有机结合起来,使学生在英语学习过程中除了学到语言的形式以外,还学习其文化内容。书中主题丰富多样、贴近生活、时代感强,灵活实用。如:年轻企业家的成功,食物对心情的影响,语言与性别的关系,情商与智商,等等。
教材体系完备,可供不同水平学生灵活选用:
《听说》与《读写》系列各分为5个级别,即:入门(Intoductory)、基础(Basic)、中级(Intermediate )、中高级(High Intremediate)、高级(Advanced)。每套教材包括学生用书( Student Book)(含单元测试试题及总测试题)、教师用书( Teachers Manual)、写作练习册 (Activity Book)、配套 CD,极大地方便了教师与学生在教与学中的各种需要。
适用对象明确:
该系列教材是为初、中级英语水平学习者而设计编写的。她既适用于各类学校,特别是新入校学生英语水平跨度较大的学校,如新建本科院校、扩招院校、专科学校、双语学校及师范类院校,此外,也适合同年龄层次的社会人士自学及培训机构使用。

Introduction
NorthStar is an innovative four-level,integrated skills series for learners of English as a Second or Foreign Language.The series is divided into two strands:Listening/speaking and reading/writing.There are four books in each strand,taking students form the Basic to the Advanced level.The two books at each level explore different aspects of the same contemporary themes,which allows for reinforcement of both vocabulary and grammatical structures.Each strad and each book can also function independently as a skills course built on high-interst thematic content.
NorthStar is designed to work alongside Addison Wesley Longman's Focus on Grammar series,and students are referred directly to Focus on Grammar for further practice and detailed grammatical explanations.
