编辑推荐
1.真实自然：该教材采用视、听、说结合的手段，营造出真实、自然的语言环境，还原最基本的交际情景，在恰当语境和正常语速下进行教学，弥补了目前对外汉语教学听说训练分离及学习内容与实际生活距离较远的现实问题。
2.互动实践：该教材以“视”为手段，用立体化的输入形式促进“听”“说”技能的实践，让语言接受更快速、准确，也让语言输出更自然、流畅。教材针对视频材料设计了丰富的以学生为中心的任务活动，实现线上与线下互动以及课堂上的师生、生生互动，并注重课堂教学与社会实践相结合，提升学生的自主学习能力。
3.系统科学：该教材构建了覆盖初、中、高级的系统视听说教学体系，参照现有通识性的语言及课程大纲从交际、语言、文化、策略四个维度进行分级标准的限定，筛选视频材料，从而有效控制选材的难易程度。每个专题分册结合视频材料针对其中涉及的词汇、句式、篇章框架、表达方式进行逐层深入的针对性练习，避免视听课单纯欣赏视频而语言学习方面收获了了的现象。
4.灵活开放：该教材针对视听素材更新快、范围广，视听课学生需求多元的特殊性，一改以往一本教材固定课目的出版模式，专题独立成册，各级内师生可对感兴趣的内容及课时需求自由组合，搭配出个性化的教材。同时在遵循教学大纲和教材结构的基本框架的前提下，作者甚至一线教师可随时补充新的适合的分册内容，该教材将随时间和用户的增长而不断升级、完善，最终形成视听教学库。
