《“十二五”普通高等教育本科国家级规划教材：大学体验英语听说教程2（第3版）》特点：

1. 每个单元添加了两个视频素材，并且在内容上与本单元主题保持一致。将视频素材融入听说教材中，为教学活动的设计，特别是为视听说交际技能的相互转换和提升，做出了有效的铺垫。

2. 四册教材在练习难度上呈现一定的坡度。基于视频素材的练习形式多样，如第一册增设了语音语调的模仿训练，强调了在英语听说技能训练中，音视频精听、模仿朗读、熟练跟读等训练环节的重要性，这也为多种形式的模仿配音打下良好的基础。针对视频素材的练习设计体现了“视听导入、整体理解和细节理解跟进、口语应答和表达为主”的思路，便于有效地提升学生的视听和表达能力。

3. 视频素材短小精悍，方便教学活动的选择和安排。视频由英美等外籍人士录制，语音语调标准自然，为教学活动中的学习和模仿提供了良好的参照。
