《新编专业学位研究生英语教程》供专业学位研究生英语教学使用。编写的宗旨为：培养研究生的英语综合应用能力，特别是听说能力，使他们在今后的工作和社会交往中能用英语有效地进行口头和书面的信息交流。选材没有像其他同类教程那样围绕一系列主题，如教育、经济、法律、宗教、体育等等，而是把着眼点放在“文化”这一框架内，选择一些既是热点但又不是稍纵即逝的主题。虽然只有10个单元，但题材覆盖语言学、社会学、哲学、经济学等众多领域，既具有教育性，又兼具学术性和世界性。通过本教程的学习，使用者可以领略到英语语言材料所承载的各种文化特征，在学习语言的过程中去理解美与人生的意义。

《新编专业学位研究生英语教程》最大的特点就是吸取了同类教材的经验教训，内容和练习均编写精当，删繁就简，不给使用本教材的教师及学生带来负担，又能达到教学大纲的要求。本教材的另一个亮点就是结合专业学位硕士培养特点，充分考虑各类专业硕士的专业需求，各单元选材覆盖不同专业和职业领域，课后练习讲练结合各种应用文体，切实提升学生以后在工作中的语言应用能力以及跨文化交际能力。本书一共由8-10个单元组成，每个单元围绕一个当前热门话题（如文化、城市化……），分Text A和Text B两篇课文，前者为精读，编写突出语言基础；后者为课后自学，编写突出技能应用。每篇课文后面配有生词表，采取英中文解释。课后练习题结合课文中输出的语言点以不同题型形式进行操练，如选择填空、改写句子、中英互译等。每个单元后面附有应用文写作技巧，并配有范例和练习题目。书后附全部练习参考答案。
