本听说教程共有四册，每册配有教师用书和录音，可供英语学习者两年之用。四册题材各不相同，按照从易至难的原则逐册编排。每册包括18个单元，编撰理念和体系基本相同。策略提示（即Skills Development）主要集中在第一、第二册，第三、第四册虽不再提示，但相关训练仍体现在各类听力练习和口语活动中。

本套书各单元基本由三大部分组成：Getting Ready（热身准备），Listening＆Speaking（听与说），Additional Activities（补充练习）。每单元课堂教学进度大约为四学时，具体安排须依各校实际情况或学生的实际水平而定。教师可根据学生的知识水平和英语程度对其中的口语热身（Warm-up Speaking）、口语实践（Extended Speaking）、语言跟踪（Language Follow-up）和补充活动（Additional Activities）中的内容作适当调整或补充。
