左进、李利红主编的《西方经典短篇小说阅读教程（十三五江苏省高等学校重点教材）》共14个单元，每个单元分为Part A和Part B两个部分，具体安排如下：每个单元每部分都以导入练习（Lead-in Questions）为引子，导人相关小说的话题，以激发学生对后面篇章阅读的兴趣，也给学生提供了练习英语口语的机会；Questions about the Author and the Story的目的是帮助学生顺利阅读篇章；主篇章均为精选的西方经典的短篇小说原文，易懂意深；篇章后的Questions for Discussion模块目的是检查学生对篇章主题、重要细节等内容的掌握情况，此部分有助于学生深度理解篇章，为学生的思维提供更广阔的空间，亦有助于学生树立正确的世界观等。
本教程主题丰富，引发学生思考的维度亦不同。按照设定，Part A部分为精讲部分，Part B部分为学生课后扩充阅读的部分。为确保完成阅读任务，需要采取课内与课外相结合的方式，加强对学生课外自主学习的指导，使学生充分利用课内外的时间，提高英语阅读能力，提升对英语的运用能力。
