本书以“听说法”和“交际法”为基本理念，依托“情景”训练的实战模式，精心设计了以“交际”为主线，以“听说训练为本”的内容结构。
口语训练中无论是听的过程还是说的过程，学习者都必须学会根据情景传达的信息，把抽象的语言变成形象的画面反映于脑海之中。这样有了形象化语言的帮助，就更有利于口语训练，在理解听说情景的同时能够循序渐进地学会直接用英语来思维和理解。
语言是思维的载体。在口语训练中,大脑相当于一个思维转换器，“听”是输入，“说”是输出。因此，要做到“听进去，说出来”，不仅要学会用英语思维，而且重要的是要解决“听进去”的问题。通常人们普遍认为，“听难说易”，似乎听不懂也能说上几句。本书主张口语训练要张开口，大胆说，在说中去表达对会话情景和内容的理解，用心模仿“听”环节中的各种语言点和细节，从而使“听”、“说”两种密不可分的能力循序渐进地得到提升。
本书适用于初级、中级英语口语学习者，对具备一定口语交际能力的读者也提供了一般口语书不能提供的地道英语表达法。
