舒白梅编著的《新世纪高等院校英语专业本科生系列教材（修订版）：现代外语教育学（第2版）》具有如下特点：

1.注意吸收国内外外语教学领域的最新研究成果，在此基础上结合中国外语教学的实际，探索符合中国人自己的外语教学路子。注重反映外语教学的综合化、多元化趋势，反映各种语言观与学习理论影响下的教学方法，不着重强调哪一家，避免外语教学观念上的教条主义。

2.在介绍国外外语教学的方法和理论的同时，注重探讨中国外语教学的历史和发展；既讨论“如何教”，更重视“如何学”；既介绍语言知识的教学，也注重语言技能的发展以及综合素质的培养。

3.本教材还着重讨论了有利于各类语言学习者的语言环境，以及在外语课堂内外如何创造这样的环境的问题，如从传播学的角度讨论课堂教学的组织、现代化教学媒体的使用等等。

4.为了使教师更好地完成“传道、授业、解惑”的任务，本教材还讨论了外语教师的职业素质的问题，以及如何进行反思性的教学、教师自我发展和提高的方法和途径。
