《综合教程》每册8个单元，每单元包括四大板块，即：视频导入（Video Starter）、精读课文（Text A）、辅助阅读（Text B）和与主题相关的补充学习活动（Additional Theme-related Activities）。视频导入板块，由编者精心设计一段或一组围绕单元主题展开的热身练习，教师即藉此以“拉家常”的方式跟学生交流互动，引出学习主题并启发学生的思路，激发学生的学习热情。 课文由同一题材的两篇文章及相关练习组成, 其中A课文为精读材料，配有大声朗读（Reading Aloud）、课文理解（Understanding the Text）、语言学习（Learning the Language）三大项；B课文为泛读材料，配有阅读理解检测（Comprehension Check）和深度讨论（In-depth Discussion）等练习。与主题相关的补充学习活动，旨在进一步拓宽学生视野，如引入与主题相关的名人名言（Famous quotes to appreciate）、补充视听和口语练习（Viewing comprehension and oral practice）等内容。
