《新编实用英语综合教程（2）》4色印刷，版式精美，并配有录音带。《新编实用英语》系列教材是由教育部高职高专教育英语课程教学指导委员会根据《高职高专教育英语课程教学基本要求（试行）》组织编写的。本套教材认真贯彻了“学一点、会一点、用一点”、“听、说、读、写、译并重”和“边学边用、学用结合”的原则。注重听说技能训练，注重对实用文体阅读能力的培养，在培养应用语言基本功的能力的同时注意培养实际涉外交际能力。本套教材还注重“教、学、考”相互照应。学完第2册可参加“高等学校英语应用能力考试”的B级考试，学完第4册可参加A级考试。《新编实用英语综合教程（2）》为《综合教程》第二册，共10个单元，每个单元都由“说”、“听”、“读”和“写”4部分组成，另有一个“趣味阅读”部分。
根据《普通高等专科英语课程教学基本要求》编写的（《实用英语》（1995年出版）为高等专科英语教学改革起到了导向与规范作用，取得了开拓性的成果。本教材既重视语言基本技能的训练，又在很大程度上体现了培养实际应用英语能力的目的。1999年，根据国家对高等专科教育、高等职业教育和成人高等教育实行“三教统筹”的精神，编写组对《实用英语》进行了局部的修订，使之更加符合“三教”的要求。加入＼WTO之后，中国与世界经济进一步接轨，国家对高职高专的英语教学提出了更加重视实用能力培养的要求，因此，高职高专教育英语课程教学指导委员会（以下简称“课委会”）决定重编《实用英语》，以适应新形势对高职高专英语教学改革的紧迫需要。
《新编实用英语》（New Practical English）是由课委会组织全国各地有丰富教学经验的教师编写的。本教材既坚持了（《高职高专教育英语课程教学基本要求（试行）》（以下简称《基本要求》）的正确方向，保持和突出了《实用英语》的优点，又反映了全面更新教学内容的实际。所谓全面更新是指在坚持（（基本要求》为高职高专培养实用性人才和坚持“以应用为目的，实用为主，够用为度”的大方向的前提下，进一步更新观念、更新内容、更新体系、更新要求。这主要体现在如下几个方面：
1.严格按照《基本要求》编写。《基本要求》中的（《交际范围表》所规定的交际主题是我们选材的依据和出发点，而且读、译、听、说、写各项技能的培养与训练都围绕同一交际话题展开。
2.进一步克服忽视听说技能训练的弱点，加大听说技能、特别是实用交际能力的训练，把培养一定的实用口语交际能力作为本教程的重要任务。
3.加强对应用文等实用文体阅读能力的培养，满足在一线工作的业务人员实际的涉外交际需要。
4.将英语应用能力的训练具体体现于实用英语能力的培养之中。应用能力既指应用语言基本功的能力，更指把这些基本功运用到实际涉外交际中的能力。后者也可称作“实用能力”。“应用能力”是“实用能力”的基础，“实用能力”则是“应用能力”的具体体现。
5.认真贯彻“学一点、会一点、用一点”，“听、说、读、写、译并重”和“边学边用、学用结合”的原则。
