《大学功能口语(上)》内容简介：Purpose of the book: Functional Spoken English for College Students is a textbook that aims at providing an easier and more practical approach for Chinese college students, who need spoken English skills to express themselves, not only for the purpose of daily communication but also for their academic study and other serious ends. Principles of the book: This book adopts functional approach in providing input. Different from other functional books that center round daily communicational functions, we approach functions from Chinese students' specific needs in dealing with study and life. This book also follows Communicative Principles in the design of output tasks. Throughout the textbook, genuine communicative tasks form the core of activities. Considering that a large number of learners who just start to talk would need consolidation exercise, we also include a few drill-oriented activities to ensure that the target expressions and techniques are enhanced.
