Features: With the continuous improvement of college foreign language teaching standards, the starting point for postgraduate foreign language learning has also been rising year by year. The National College English Teaching Syllabus and the Postgraduate English Teaching Syllabus have been successively revised. In accordance with the specific needs of postgraduate public English teaching in the 21st century, the Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press conducted extensive and in-depth research nationwide, listened to the suggestions of English teaching experts and scholars in China, and, after carefully analyzing the current state of postgraduate English teaching, meticulously planned and organized more than ten key universities such as Tsinghua University, Fudan University, Zhejiang University, Shandong University, Sun Yat-sen University, Dalian University of Technology, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and others to launch the "New Century Postgraduate Public English Textbook" in 2002. The textbook writing follows the following principles: exercise design and activity arrangements are centered on successful learning, emphasizing the cultivation of applied skills; targeting the decline in postgraduates' listening and speaking abilities, it places importance on oral and listening training; the text materials and genres are diverse and up-to-date; it emphasizes the cultivation of translation and writing (especially thesis writing) skills; while highlighting lexical and syntactic knowledge, it integrates text-based knowledge teaching.
