一，在质量、公平以及学术性方面声誉卓越。
为了满足全球化背景下社会对优秀人才的需求，适应信息化和数字化技术的快速发展，托福考试实行依托网络的考试模式（iBT），即新托福考试。
新托福考试重点针对考生听、说、读、写能力展开全面考查，其命题内容与形式成为指导国际英语教、学、测试的风向标，托福注重学习者的语言综合应用能力，这种能力也成为许多国家和地区院校在英语教学、人才培养方面的重要组成部分。
对中国学生而言，面对国际化考试需求日益增加的形势，大学英语教科书已无法满足具有不同专业背景和兴趣爱好的个性化需求，一套能够有效指导学习者进行各项技能训练的教材至关重要。
熟悉新托福考试题型、夯实语言基本功、提高语言综合运用能力是备考的关键。
目前，市场上各种应对新托福考试的出版材料多为试题集，这些试题集形式单
一，应试特征明显，普遍对学习者的语言水平、目标语输入、自主学习能力等方面缺乏充分考虑。
因此，一套贴近中国学生语言水平和实际需要、针对托福考试各项技能训练的教材显得尤为重要。
鉴于此，我们对当前高校英语教学中各个环节，包括教学目标、内容、对象、手段、教材、测试评估等展开充分调研，编写了“新托福英语”系列教程，针对所考查的听、说、读、写四项技能编写了四本分册，重点围绕专项技能展开针对性的引导与训练。
本系列教程总体特色：
1.契合高等教育人才培养目标 根据教高[2012]4号文件的要求，国际化人才培养，即熟练的外语能力、良好的跨文化交流意识与交际能力、较好的问题解决能力应该成为高校人才培养的重要目标。
为了响应这一目标，本系列教程以切实提高大学生语言实际应用能力为切入点，提供了大量地道的语言材料，并安排灵活多样的活动与训练，让学生进行“浸入式”学习，通过“学”“做”“思”的有机融合，提高学生的语言素养与交际能力。
2.贴近学生语言学习需求与认知特点本系列教程语言实践性强，比《大学英语课程教学要求》的要求更高。
在选材时我们遵循了现代性、科学性、前瞻性、趣味性等基本原则，同时兼顾素材的多样性、语言的真实性、内容的思想性以及活动的可操练性，既满足了学生语言学习的要求与兴趣，也符合其认知规律与特点。
3.体现知识构建的渐进性与阶梯性每册书内容遵循“由浅入深”“由易至难”的原则，较好地体现了知识构建的渐进性与
I 新托福英语口语教程 阶梯性，也符合语言学习的基本规律。
具体而言，单元间、单元内均依据先输入后输出的编
写思路，知识点由易到难，层层深入，有助于学生对知识的内化与吸收，促进语言习得，而各项技能训练活动的有机结合也将有助于学生语言综合能力的全面提升。
本书编写思路及特色：
1.单元版块设计科学以简单轻松的口语提问引入单元主题，激发学生兴趣，调动学生进一步深入了解和探讨主题的积极性，为接下来的学习任务做好准备。
之后的相关词汇、句型都围绕这一主题展开，对主题的不同视角、观点或相互补充，或截然相反，引导学生多思考，多角度、全面地看待问题，注重培养学生口头实用表达能力，以适应新托福口语考试的要求。
学生在对话题充分理解和自由讨论后，可以阅读一篇和话题有关的短文。
进行与主题相关的阅读可以拓展思路，开阔视野，丰富自己的口语素材。
每个单元所有内容都围绕一个主题，编排与主题相关的口语活动，环环相扣，有机融合，为学生创造锻炼思维、表达观点、培养口语能力的机会。
2.选材广泛本书主题丰富，选材广泛，体裁多样。
各部分的视听材料以短小精悍、难度适中为原则，兼顾材料的多样性及语言的真实性。
对材料中涉及的语言和文化现象提供详细讲解，在提高学生口语表达能力的同时提高他们的综合文化素养和跨文化交际能力。
3.注重语言技能的培养本书注重对学生进行英语口语四大技能的培养，即Note-taking，Paraphrasing，Summarizing和Synthesizing。
4.练习丰富设计形式多样的听力、阅读和口语任务，既能体现任务的真实性，又兼顾新托福考试的口语题型，使语言输入与输出巧妙结合，通过各类活动与练习提高学生的听说综合能力。
本书的练习设计重在鼓励学生开口、活用词汇、启发思维。
5.梯度合理本书各单元以及每单元的各个部分之间都遵循由浅入深、由易到难的原则，符合新托福考试中的循序渐进的难度规律，体现出口语技能提高的阶段性和系统性。
6.形式活泼本书图文并茂，版式新颖，包含大量与主题相关的启发性图片，为语言学习提供了形象、立体的训练情景，加强了学生学习和使用英语口语的实际体验。
因编者水平有限，书中疏漏和错误之处在所难免，请广大读者不吝赐教。
