Welcome to the new and updated second edition of Time Zones.
欢迎使用最新的时区第二版。
What is Time Zones?
什么是时区？
Time Zones is a five-level, four-skills series that combines a communicative approach to learning English with up-to-date National Geographic content, designed to be engaging for all young students, from pre-teens to young adults.
时区是一个五个层次，四个技能系列，结合了最新的国家地理内容，旨在吸引所有年轻学生，从青少年到年轻人学习英语的交际方法。
How is the book organized?
这本书是怎么组织的？
Time Zones follows a familiar grammatical syllabus, with simple structures introduced in the lower levels, followed by increasingly complex structures in later levels. However, Time Zones also follows a rich thematic, content syllabus. Real-
时区遵循一个熟悉的语法教学大纲，在较低的层次中引入简单的结构，然后在较高的层次中引入越来越复杂的结构。然而，时区也遵循丰富的主题，内容教学大纲。真的-
world content is used as a springboard for introducing the language that students need to become effective communicators in English.
世界内容被用来作为一个跳板，介绍学生需要成为有效的英语沟通者的语言。
As with the grammatical syllabus,Time Zones teaches the highest-frequency vocabulary in the earlier stages of the course,with relatively lower-
与语法教学大纲一样，时区在课程的早期阶段教授的词汇频率最高，相对较低-
frequency vocabulary appearing only in the
频率词汇只出现在
higher levels of the series. Along the way, more specialized vocabulary is occasionally introduced so that students can develop a meaningful understanding of it, as well as be able to talk about the real world topics and issues introduced in Time Zones. Key vocabulary is recycled systematically throughout the series.
更高层次的系列。在此过程中，偶尔会引入更专业的词汇，以便学生能够对其进行有意义的理解，并能够谈论在时区引入的真实世界的主题和问题。关键词汇在整个系列中系统地循环使用。
The vocabulary and grammar is well integrated throughout the series. For example, students might learn the grammatical structure “can”to talk about abilities in relation to a unit onanimals, learning to talk about what animals can and can’t do, before going on to personalize the language and talk about themselves and their own abilities.
整个系列的词汇和语法都很好地结合在一起。例如，学生可能会学习语法结构“can”来谈论与动物单元相关的能力，学习谈论动物能做什么和不能做什么，然后再继续个性化语言，谈论他们自己和他们自己的能力。
Ideally, the units of Time Zones will be taught in order and no units will be skipped. However, if your students have some background in English, you may wish to skip the Starter Level, which consolidates some of the core English that young students might have already encountered if they have been exposed to English learning before.
理想情况下，时区的单位将按顺序教学，不会跳过任何单位。但是，如果你的学生有一定的英语背景，你可能希望跳过初级阶段，这会巩固一些年轻学生以前接触过英语学习可能已经遇到的核心英语。

What are the principles behind Time Zones and National Geographic?
时区和国家地理背后的原则是什么？
1. English for International Communication A key principle underlying Time Zones is an awareness that we are living in an increasingly globalized world,
1.国际交流英语时区的一个关键原则是我们意识到我们生活在一个日益全球化的世界，
with English fast-becoming a lingua franca, and that the distinction between “native”and “non-native”speakers of English is becoming less distinct than in thepast.
随着英语迅速成为一种通用语言，“母语”和“非母语”的英语使用者之间的区别越来越不像过去那么明显。
The majority of communication in English is now between so-called “non-native”English speakers.
现在大部分的英语交流是在所谓的“非母语”的英语使用者之间进行的。
While Time Zones uses standard American English as its basis-in terms of lexis, grammar, and model pronunciation-it also acknowledges, and embraces the fact,
虽然时区在词汇、语法和发音方面以标准美式英语为基础，但它也承认并接受这一事实，
that English is gradually moving away from being a “Western”language,
英语正逐渐远离“西方”语言，
and toward becoming an international one. Rather than make the assumption that a “foreign”student learns English so that they can communicate with and learn about the cultures of “native”English speakers,
走向国际化。与其假设一个“外国”学生学习英语是为了与“以英语为母语”的人交流和了解他们的文化，
Time Zones positions students to be effective communicators in English in a world where English is a common means of international communication.
在英语是国际交流的常用手段的世界里，时区使学生成为有效的英语交流者。
2. Inspiring People to Care About the Planet In tandem with this is the belief that-in a globalized world-young people are increasingly less defined by national boundaries.
2.鼓励人们关心地球的同时，这是一种信念，即在全球化的世界中，年轻人越来越不受国界的限制。
National Geographic’s philosophy-“inspiring people to care about the planet”-is one that should resonate with many young people today,
《国家地理》“激励人们关心地球”的理念应该引起当今许多年轻人的共鸣，
in not just its environmental mission, but also in its international perspective. Far from simply studying”Western”culture,
不仅仅是它的环保使命，还有它的国际视野。不仅仅是研究“西方”文化，
students of Time Zones learn about the world around them and its many varied cultures. Moreover,
时区的学生了解他们周围的世界及其多种多样的文化。此外，
Time Zones encourages the idea of the student as a world citizen, eager to understand people of all cultures and to learn about global issues and events affecting everyone,
时区鼓励学生成为世界公民，渴望了解各种文化的人，了解影响每个人的全球性问题和事件，
including historical discoveries, scientific developments, and the health of the environment and the planet’s inhabitants.
包括历史发现、科学发展、环境和地球居民的健康。
3. Authentic Real-World Content It is also a key principle of Time Zones that authentic, real-world content is more motivating, more relevant,
3.真实的真实世界内容真实的真实世界内容更具激励性、相关性，这也是时区的一个关键原则，
and more respectful to students than content that is contrived or artificial. The majority of Time Zones’ content,
更尊重学生，而不是人为制造的内容。大部分时区的内容，
including its photography and videos, comes from the National Geographic archives.
包括照片和视频，来自国家地理档案馆。
This high-interest content informs the entire Time Zones series and provides motivation for students to think and learn about real issues,
这种高兴趣的内容通知整个时区系列，并为学生思考和学习真正的问题提供动力，
and gets students talking in English as early as possible. Time Zones also provides many opportunities for personalization so students can apply the language they learn in wider contexts to talk about themselves and their own lives.
让学生尽早用英语交谈。时区还提供了许多个性化的机会，这样学生就可以在更广泛的环境中运用所学的语言来谈论自己和自己的生活。

For example, students may learn about extreme weather conditions-the hottest place on Earth,
例如，学生可以了解地球上最热的地方的极端气候条件，
the coldest winters, the driest summers-but will also be able to use this language to talk about themselves and their everyday experiences.
最冷的冬天，最干燥的夏天，但也可以用这种语言来谈论自己和他们的日常经验。
4. Developing Technological Literacy Another key principle of Time Zones is the knowledge that young students today are more technologically savvy than any previous generation and that information is increasingly multi modal.
4.培养技术素养时区的另一个关键原则是，现在的年轻学生比上一代更精通技术，而且信息越来越多模态。
Time Zones uses a combination of text types-video, photographs, illustrations, and listening materials.
时区使用文本类型、视频、照片、插图和听力材料的组合。

HOW TO TEACH TIME ZONES

This section aims to give you practical ideas for using Time Zones and provide you with classroom activities that can get your learners interacting with the material and communicating in the classroom.
如何教授时区本节旨在为您提供使用时区的实际想法，并为您提供课堂活动，让您的学习者在课堂上与材料互动和交流。
First, we look at teaching through content in which we bring the outside world into the classroom to help our learners become more global. We then look at the importance of vocabulary as the building blocks of language and get learners to develop their grammar by actually using it.
首先，我们通过将外部世界带入课堂的内容来看待教学，以帮助我们的学习者变得更加全球化。然后我们来看看词汇作为语言的基石的重要性，让学习者通过实际使用词汇来发展他们的语法。
We also look at ways to make use of listening and reading material to maximize learner output and ideas for getting learners communicating to one another using the spoken or written form.
我们还研究了如何利用听力和阅读材料最大限度地提高学习者的产出，以及如何让学习者通过口头或书面形式相互交流。
After that, we turn to ways to integrate video into our classes to add new dynamics to classroom learning.
之后，我们转向将视频融入课堂的方法，为课堂学习增添新的动力。
We then discuss ways to help our learners to retain and use the language they have learned beyond the walls of the classroom. Finally, there are suggestions for further reading.
然后，我们讨论如何帮助学习者在课堂之外保留和使用所学的语言。最后，还有进一步阅读的建议。
