本教材本着“以服务为宗旨、以就业为导向、以能力为本位”的办学指导思想，采用多样化的教育教学方式，在满足不同层次学生学习需求的基础上编写而成。

本教材突出先进的教学理念，促进学生全面发展。突出服务专业的特色，采用分层次教学模式。突出职教教学模式，教学环节突出实践性。注重学生在教学活动中的主体地位，简单易学，通俗易懂。重视学生的素质教育，提高学生的基本技能。

本教材分StepⅠ(实用层)、StepⅡ(应用层)、StepⅢ(提高层)三个层次。实用层适合初中英语基础薄弱，需要对初中英语知识进行补充学习的学生；应用层适合具有一定的初中英语基础，但又没有系统完成初中英语学业的学生；提高层适合已完成初中英语学业，英语程度较好的学生，通过提高层的学习可为进一步深造打下良好的基础。三个层次之间属于递进关系，学完前一层次的学生可以选修或自学更高一层次的知识。三个层次中的句型、某些短文虽然有重复，但它们的难度和要求各不相同，分别适用于不同基础的学生。除Step Ⅰ(实用层)里没有课文(Text)外，各个单元都包括句型(Sentence Patterns)、情景会话(Situational Dialogue)、课文(Text)、知识运用(Knowledge Using)、单词(Newwords)五个部分。从不同角度培养学生的英语应用能力。

本教材在附录部分附有汽车专业、机械专业、模具专业、计算机专业、电子电工专业的专业词汇500多个，旨在让这些专业的学生能够对本专业词汇有所了解。
