The theme/topic of this edition of Communication is...

I assume 直击 is separated from 现场直击 (live report, televise live, broadcast live...) and has been fancified, that is, become a fancy word in the journalistic jargon. Does this edition of Communication report on the examination live? No. It only invites some veteran teachers to the studio to teach some tricks to would-be examinees.
