內容簡介
在英語學習的過程中，促進學生心智、情感態度、學習策略、跨文化意識和基本的跨文化交際能力的發展，使他們樹立並形成正確的人生觀、世界觀和價值觀，全面提高人文素養，為未來發展和終身學習奠定良好的基礎。
此外，注重高中英語課程的選擇性，以促進學生個性和潛能的發揮。其基本教學思想是：在做中學，即learningbydoing，強調對學習過程的關注，對學習者個人經歷的關注，對課堂內的語言學習與課堂外語言活動結合的關注；強調只有在真實的交流情景中，外語的學習才更有意義、更有實效、更有成就感，使學生的自主學習能力真正地得以提高。基於這種思想，本套教材不僅給學生提供了豐富的、不同類型和體裁的閱讀內容，還給學生提供了各種用所學的語言表達自己的知識、思想和觀點的機會，從而做到學以致用。
