《新编实用英语》系列教材是由教育部高职高专教育英语课程教学指导委员会根据《高职高专教育英语课程教学基本要求(试行)》组织编写的。《新编实用英语》(第二版)系列教材是在《新编实用英语》(**版)的基础上修订而成。本套教材认真贯彻了“学一点、会一点、用一点”、“听、说、读、写、译并重”和“边学边用、学用结合”的原则。注重听说技能训练,注重对实用文体阅读能力的培养,将应用语言基本功的能力与实际涉外交际相结合。
本套教材还注重“教、学、考”相互照应。学完第2册可参加“高等学校应用能力考试”的B级考试,学完第4册可参加A级考试。
《新编实用英语》为《新编实用英语学学·练练·考考2》(第二版),共8个单元,编排模式与主教材基本相同,每个单元都由“说”、“听”、“读”和“写”4部分组成,另有一个“小幽默”。书后有自测题、练习答案和译文以及生词表。《新编实用英语》附有多媒体学习课件光盘一张,并配有录音带。
