前言

　　College Spoken English Course： Developing Verbal Strategies for Communica-tion is for college students who want intensive training to improve their skills of oralcommunication in English so that they can use the language freely whenever theyfind themselves in an English speaking environment. The choice of materials, thedesign of the exercises, and the arrangement of the contents are also geared in a waythat may help those who are preparing for different kinds of spoken English tests,such as the CET-SET and the TSE of TOEFL or IELTS. After taking the course, students are expected to be able to conduct conversa-tions in English that will exhibit the following qualities： a. Spontaneity （e.g., a response is made as soon as a situation calls for it or a stimulus is given.） b. Appropriateness （e.g., the language is suitable for the status of the speaker and for the particular situation the speaker is in. Of course, to be appropriate it has to be grammatically acceptable and accurate in the first place.） c. Clarity （e.g., the pronunciation of each phoneme is clear enough for others to distinguish, and so, understand.） d. Fluency （e.g., the sounds in the speech are so well handled that they are smooth, like those of a native speaker. The speaking has a noticeable rhythm typical to the English language.） The following is the general organization of the textbook： The first three units establish the general structure of English conversations. Theyintroduce some basic principles for the organization of a complete conversation sothat learners know how to start a conversation in a proper way, how to encourage it,and how to end it naturally and friendly in various situations. The other twelve units concentrate on key aspects of conversational develop-ment. Here students learn to use proper English to do different things, for instance,getting information from others, describing places, people, and events, or givingopinions.
