教材

I hope the textbook will provide a foothold for students of the subject.

我希望这本教材能本专业的打下基础。

Isn't this textbook beginning to date?

这本教材不是已渐渐陈旧了吗？

In other words, get the students to use what they have to learn to think, they will unheedingly learn and remember.This is more effective than rote-learning.

换句话说，多多运用教材进行考，他们在不知不教材记住，而不是一味要强记死背，教效果更能提高。
