To the users of this book,
Learning a new language is hard; living a new language, however, is much easier.
One of the most widely acknowledged facts in the field of language acquisition is that kids learn languages much faster than adults. Most attribute this discrepancy to the fact that when kids learn a language, they mainly imitate the world around them; when adults learn a language, they see the process as the memorizing of rules. Whereas kids learn through experiencing the world, adults learn by trying to detach themselves from it. As a result, the lack of authenticity in learning makes it almost impossible for adults to really master a language. Our team, like many experts of the field, believe in the power of learning through authentic English, and in the importance of assigning real-life meaning to language acquisition. Fortunately, this is a view shared by ETS, the creator of the TOEFL family of tests. It is because of this shared value, we were able to joint our forces in creating the PrepEdge series, an authentic TOEFL textbook with authentic English language and context.
However, despite our shared values, the creation of the series is in no way easy. Having different teaching experiences, the New Oriental team and ETS team had to engage in various debates arguing for the welfare of the users of this book, and make tough compromises in order to better suit this book for Chinese learners. Looking back at those experiences, I am glad they happened, as they are the reason why I am confident in the efficacy of the PrepEdge series.
