培养高校英语专业学生的文化素养要有合适的教材：不是那种仅仅文字漂亮却没有太多文化内涵的传统教材，而是具有时代特征，选自政治、经济、社会真实交往，含有丰富文化内涵的读本，同时兼有能够启发学生思考和分析的活泼、互动的教学方法以及配套的课外实践活动。这就是中国人民大学出版社推出“超越概念”这套英语专业系列教材的宗旨。　　“超越概念”是一套完整的高校英语专业本科系列教材，涵盖了2000年教育部颁布执行的《高等学校英语专业英语教学大纲》中规定的“英语技能”和“英语知识”两大课程板块中的所有课程，由一批长期从事国内高校英语专业本科教学的中国教师和一批美国学者(均为20世纪80年代赴美留学，而后在美国大学获得博士学位和终身教职的华裔教授)合作编写而成。
