Lin-guaphone is an abbreviation for “lingua+(gramo)phone”. It is a name used by the UK to teach recordings with texts. The Linggue English Course is divided into three volumes: Elementary, Intermediate, and Advanced. The three volumes are all internal and have no connection. The junior edition was originally published in 1950. In the 1950s and 1960s, some foreign language colleges in China were, to be exact, some “outside” colleges and universities. In particular, they were tried and tested by the “leading” school. As a lower grade phonetic teaching material, students are required to listen to and practice repeatedly and repeatedly imitate their pronunciation and intonation. It is known that this practice was to improve the listening and speaking skills of junior students.
