《新国标大学英语》是在认真学习《大学英语教学指南》和全国各地大学英语教学改革的经验后，密切结合大学英语教学改革新动向，专门为我国普通高等院校大学生量身定做的一套通用英语系列教程。教学目标主要针对基础级别，兼顾提高级别。与高中新课标和四六级考试无缝对接，使大学生通过快乐、友好的英语学习体验，掌握《指南》规定的基础目标和提高目标语言技能，提高跨文化交际能力和批判性思维能力。

针对通用英语，针对基础目标
　　传递快乐情绪，提供友好体验
　　培养跨文化交际，培养批判性思维
　　本教材专门针对初次步入大学校园的非英语专业大学生而量身打造的作为基础层级的通用英语教材。教材力求素材和话题密切结合学生学习和生活实际，以大学校园生活为核心，适当在时空两个维度进行拓展，时间上兼顾大学生的成长经历（过去）和未来的职业发展（将来），空间上横跨中西大学生学习和生活上的文化差异。每个单元贯彻“主题教学模式”和“以学生为中心”的思想。素材和练习尽量采用学生喜闻乐见的多媒体呈现方式（如图形化的平面展示，多媒体的素材输入）；在练习设计上倡导“以教师为主导，以学生为主体”的师生关系和“任务式、合作式、探究式和项目式”的教学方式，为学生们带来学习的快乐。

清华大学出版社大学英语数字化互动教学平台是以个性化课程为中心、能力测试为手段，兼顾课堂教学和自主学习，与教材内容紧密结合并拓展更多教学资源，集教、学、练、考、评、研等功能于一体的网络课程教学平台。目的是通过平台上的交互式学习内容和新型教学模式，提高教学效率和效果，培养学生的语言综合运用能力、跨文化交际能力及自主学习的能力，同时为教师备课、教学、批改、科研提供便利。
