本系列教程的编写旨在打造一套高品质教材系列，将研究生入学考试应试技能培养和一般高阶英语教程相结合，而非市面上常见的应试练习册。本书将最近10年研究生入学考试（学术硕士方向）复现率高的翻译和写作题文本的题材和体裁确定9个单元的主题以及文章体裁比例，同时融入翻译和写作微技能的培养，尤其注意翻译和写作技能与各单元主题的融合，主要内容包括翻译技巧、长难句分析、写作技巧和常用模板等。各单元将根据任务性质分若干主要步骤，围绕单元的任务目标设计课前任务，课堂任务，课后任务。每个任务下设计若干活动，活动的设计上会特别关注主题和技能的渐进性、关联性、延续性、递进性和系统性。所有活动都考虑到了学生跨文化交际能力和批判性思维能力的培养。所有材料都要求语言地道，语料真实，创设真实的语言交流情境，材料的可读性、易读性将形成梯度，难度上循序渐进，符合学生的认知规律和语言学习规律。
