本教程是以“普通高等教育‘十一五’国家级规划教材”《新编实用英语——学学·练练·考考》(第二版)为基础改编的。本书紧扣《新编实用英语——综合教程》各单元的教学内容与体例，扩展主教材听、说、读、写等语言技能的训练及词汇、语法等语言知识、用法的学习。

该教程的编排模式与《新编实用英语——综合教程》(辽宁版)基本相同，可配合主教材供学生自主学习用。

《新编实用英语》系列教材是教育部高职高专教育英语课程教学指导委员会根据《高职高专教育英语课程教学基本要求(试行)》组织编写的。《新编实用英语》(辽宁版)系列教材是在《新编实用英语》(第二版)的基础上结合辽宁省对外交流的实际改编的。本套教材贯彻了“学一点、会一点、用一点”、“听、说、读、写、译并重”和“边学边用、学用结合”的原则，注重听说技能训练和对实用文体阅读能力的培养，将培养应用语言基本功的能力与实际涉外交际相结合。

本套教材还注重“教、学、考”相互照应。学完第2册可参加“高等学校英语应用能力考试”的B级考试，学完第4册可参加A级考试。

本书为《新编实用英语扩展教程》(辽宁版)第2册，共8个单元，编排模式与主教材基本相同，每个单元都由“说”、“听”、“读”、“写”、“自测习题”和“趣味阅读”6部分组成。本书附多媒体学习课件光盘1张，并配有录音带。
