随着我国改革开放日益深化及加入世界贸易组织，社会各领域参与国际交流的机会越来越多，新的社会需求对大学生的英语能力提出了更高的要求，教育部制定的《大学英语课程教学要求》(试行)也提出了新的大学英语课程教学目标，即在培养学生英语综合运用能力的同时，增加其自主学习能力，提高综合文化素养，以适应我国社会发展和国际交流的需要。

鉴于现有的教学内容和教学学时不足以满足人才培养的需要，要切实保证大学英语课程教学目标的实现，我们需要充分利用学生的课余时间，激发学生课后的自主学兴趣，提高他们的自主学习能力，不断扩大学生广泛接触英语的天地，使得他们的课堂学习内容在课后能得到进一步延伸。课后广泛的听说训练，不仅能使学生巩固课堂上掌握的学习方法和学习策略，更能增加人文和科学知识，提高综合素养。

本套教材为现有大学英语教材的补充和延伸，与现有课堂教学内容交相辉映。我们期待本教材能够引导学生最终成为快乐的英语学习者、终身的英语学习者、集技能与策略于一身的英语学习者，从而使《教学要求》的目标最终得以实现。
