刘金侠主编的《英语听力教程》每单元由七部分组成：第一部分为准备性练习，通过头脑风暴、小组讨论、阅读、听力等活动，激发学生的学习兴趣，激活学生相关的语言知识和背景知识，为下一步的听力活动做好准备。第二至第五部分包括对话、短文、新闻报道、填空等，听力材料多为学习者所熟悉、关注的热门话题或日常生活中常见的话题，题型主要为单项／多项选择、正误判断、简答、听写填空、补全摘要等，以培养学生判断、识别、记忆、检索、概括和推理能力。其中第四部分新闻听力的选材来源丰富，同时采用VOA、BBC及NPR的音频材料。侧重培养学生获取新闻导语关键信息的能力、大意归纳能力与细节把握能力。第六部分为复述。该部分为配合英语专业四级口语考试而设计。通过本项活动的练习，使学生能够有针对性的为专业英语四级口语考试做充分地准备，使学生在练习听力的同时，提高其口语表达能力。第七部分为听力策略／英文歌曲／文化背景知识，此部分为本书的扩展部分。本套教程适用对象较广，既适合高等院校英语专业一、二年级学生作为英语听力教材，也可作为广大英语学习爱好者练习听力的参考资料。
