《教育文論選讀》借鑒特殊用途英語ESP和內(nèi)容依托教學(xué)CLIL的理念，以教育學(xué)科專業(yè)知識為選材背景，以英語閱讀訓(xùn)練為主要語言技能，以學(xué)習(xí)技能培養(yǎng)為主要學(xué)習(xí)策略，旨在實現(xiàn)語言與專業(yè)融合和專業(yè)英語學(xué)習(xí)的提升。
《教育文論選讀》結(jié)合學(xué)術(shù)英語與學(xué)科知識，將英語學(xué)習(xí)與教育專業(yè)學(xué)習(xí)有機結(jié)合，旨在幫助英語專業(yè)本科生進(jìn)一步鞏固語言基礎(chǔ)和提高學(xué)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(xué)習(xí)、教學(xué)、教師、學(xué)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(dǎo)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(xué)習(xí)技能講解，培養(yǎng)學(xué)生自主學(xué)習(xí)、合作學(xué)習(xí)與探究學(xué)習(xí)的學(xué)習(xí)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(xué)中的形成性評價。
《教育文論選讀》的設(shè)計理念與編寫特點主要體現(xiàn)在以下幾個方面，即"方向明、特色強、選材精、設(shè)計活、內(nèi)容全"。"方向明"強調(diào)英語教師教育人才培養(yǎng)的適用性，在教材的編寫中突出"復(fù)合型"、"應(yīng)用性"和"實踐性"的課程開發(fā)方向；"特色強"強調(diào)在教材編寫中突出"英語+教育"的融合與兼顧，突出英語語言素養(yǎng)與教育素養(yǎng)的雙重提升；"選材精"強調(diào)題材內(nèi)容、體裁類型的多樣性和教育內(nèi)涵的豐富性，重視教材對學(xué)生未來專業(yè)發(fā)展的知識引領(lǐng)；"設(shè)計活"強調(diào)學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)興趣和學(xué)習(xí)習(xí)慣，在教材編寫中加大互動性、趣味性的教學(xué)環(huán)節(jié)；"內(nèi)容全"強調(diào)教材編寫要圍繞教育名家、教育熱點問題、學(xué)生發(fā)展、教師發(fā)展、英語學(xué)習(xí)、英語教學(xué)等方面，向?qū)W生呈現(xiàn)出較為系統(tǒng)化的教育主題學(xué)習(xí)。
