《藝術(shù)英語 文化閱讀》(第1冊)(Enqlish Reading on Arts and Culture)將藝術(shù)術(shù)語和知識納入到具體的知識性文章之中，既體現(xiàn)英語的普遍性和實(shí)用性，又滿足藝術(shù)類大學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)專業(yè)英語的需求；其內(nèi)容既區(qū)別于英文版的藝術(shù)史，又區(qū)別于藝術(shù)詞典和工具書。適合大學(xué)英語教學(xué)內(nèi)容和課程設(shè)置從通用英語向?qū)W術(shù)英語轉(zhuǎn)型的實(shí)際需求，體現(xiàn)了大學(xué)英語課程工具性和人文性的雙重性質(zhì)。
