本套教材分为《学术英语听说教程》与《学术英语读写教程》，前者主要培养学术听说技能，后者主要培养学术英语读写技能，两本教材选取文化、教育、自然科学、人文历史等领域的系列主题，配以相关的阅读和听力材料，帮助和鼓励学生搜集更多相关信息，经过对信息的深度思考和合理评价，形成自己的观点，并清晰地表达自己的观点。 听说教程以音频和视频材料为依托，培养学术英语听说技能；读写教程以文本和网络文献为依托，培养学术英语读写技能。
《普通学术英语教程——听说与思考》的一个重要目的是提高学生对问题的识别、分析和判断能力，以及口头表达能力，包括表达的正确性、流畅性、充分性、有效性和完整性，从而全面提高学术英语听说表达能力。
