《教育文論選讀》借鑒特殊用途英語ESP和內(nèi)容依托教學CLIL的理念，以教育學科專業(yè)知識為選材背景，以英語閱讀訓練為主要語言技能，以學習技能培養(yǎng)為主要學習策略，旨在實現(xiàn)語言與專業(yè)融合和專業(yè)英語學習的提升。
《教育文論選讀》結(jié)合學術(shù)英語與學科知識，將英語學習與教育專業(yè)學習有機結(jié)合，旨在幫助英語專業(yè)本科生進一步鞏固語言基礎(chǔ)和提高學術(shù)閱讀能力，并在閱讀內(nèi)容上體現(xiàn)教育知識的專業(yè)性。本書分別從學習、教學、教師、學生幾個不同方面展開，每單元設(shè)置六篇文章，其中第一篇為介紹性導入的短文章，課文A，B，C為主課文，D，E為課外閱讀材料。同時每單元通過穿插不同的學習技能講解，培養(yǎng)學生自主學習、合作學習與探究學習的學習方式，并設(shè)計了相應(yīng)的小組活動與考評活動以加強教學中的形成性評價。
