本書以習(xí)近平總書記在全國教育大會上的講話精神為引領(lǐng)，參照新時期高校人才培養(yǎng)規(guī)劃方案和最新的《大學(xué)英語教學(xué)指南》的目標(biāo)要求編寫而成。
全書共6章，每章包括4個部分，分別為“Listen and Respond”“Reading Task”“Home Reading Task”“Comprehensive Language Practice”。其中：“Listen and Respond”旨在培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的英語聽說能力；“Reading Task”和“Home Reading Task”精選了主流外刊中具有時代性、思想性、文化性、趣味性的文章和豐富多樣的練習(xí)題與課后活動，以便學(xué)生鞏固所學(xué)知識，提高詞匯量和實際應(yīng)用能力；“Comprehensive Language Practice”則專注于構(gòu)詞法、語法和寫作等語言基礎(chǔ)知識的鞏固和拓展。此外，各章最后還特別設(shè)置了“Cultural Focus”板塊來介紹中國文化，幫助學(xué)生深入了解我國的優(yōu)秀文化。
本書可以作為普通高等院校、高等職業(yè)院校、職業(yè)本科院校和應(yīng)用型本科院校的英語教材，也可以作為教師、科研人員和相關(guān)培訓(xùn)機構(gòu)的參考書，還可以供對英語感興趣的自學(xué)者學(xué)習(xí)使用。
