《大学应用英语》教材以教育部制定文件《大学英语课程教学要求》（以下简称《教学要求》）中的一般要求为教材编写主要依据，涵盖了《教学要求》中提出的大学英语词汇（含积极词汇和构词法）教学内容、交际场景常用表达方式教学内容，以及听、说、读、写、译等各方面语言技能教学内容。同时，考虑到三本院校非英语专业本科生的英语入学水平和实际情况，在教材第一册和第二册中加入了基础语言知识、各分项基础语言技能和基础学习方法项目，以期帮助学生进一步夯实基础。
《大学应用英语》（College Applied English）是由北京城市学院和高等教育出版社共同规划、设计、编写的一套大学英语教材。
一、编写依据
《大学应用英语》全面贯彻教育部《大学英语课程教学要求》。编者在教材规划、编写和试用过程中紧密结合《大学英语课程教学要求》对词汇、听力、口语、阅读、写作、翻译等语言知识和语言技能提出的标准和要求，对新建本科院校学生英语学习特点和需求进行了深入研究。教材吸取、借鉴了数十年来国际国内二语习得、大学英语教学的丰硕成果，参照北京城市学院建校以来大学英语一线教学的丰富经验，充分体现了“实用为本、有效为主、适合为度”的教材编写原则。教材以《大学英语课程教学要求》中的“一般要求”为最终能力培养目标，并按照教育部相关文件的精神、结合学生语言应用方面的实际情况，将“听说能力”作为语言技能培养的重要目标。
二、教学对象
《大学应用英语》以新建本科院校的非英语专业本科学生为主要教学对象。教材充分考虑该类生源在英语学习上的语言水平、学习特点和应用需求，将夯实语言基础知识、提高各项语言技能与增强综合语言应用能力设定为总体目标。教材将各种语言媒介方式与教学活动相结合，旨在提高学生对英语学习的兴趣、掌握有效的英语学习策略、并培养自主学习的良好习惯。
