职业教育作为类型教育，肩负着为祖国培养高层次、高素质技术技能人才的重任。为进一
步完善现代职业教育体系，提高职业教育办学质量，教育部大力开展职业本科高校建设，促进
人才培养模式创新，提升办学层次。《新领航职业英语》正是在这样的背景下应时而生。本书
立足职业本科人才定位，兼顾层次教育和类型定位的需求，旨在提升职业本科学生的英语综合
运用能力，并为他们未来的职业发展打下坚实的语言基础，选材大力弘扬中华优秀传统文化、
以爱国主义为核心的民族精神和以改革创新为核心的时代精神。
一、教材编写特色
1．紧扣职教特色，兼顾层次教育和类型定位的需求
编写组对标《高等职业教育专科英语课程标准（2021年版）》和《大学英语教学指南（2020
年版）》，遵循《高等学校课程思政建设指导纲要》的要求，紧扣职教特色，同时立足职业本科
英语教学实际，进行内容设计和编写。根据《中国英语能力等级量表》的能力要求，把握选材
难易度。本书选材既注重提升学生的核心素养、促进普职融通，又满足英语课程对高层次技术
技能人才培养的需求，以党的二十大精神为指引，落实立德树人的根本任务。
2．结合学生专业，融合素质教育和岗位要求于一体
本书在编写过程中，主动将中国元素、职业精神、社会责任等内容有机融入教材内容，引
导学生思考并实践。如科技创新话题围绕中国创新驱动发展战略，聚焦“嫦娥”揽月、“蛟龙”
入海、“墨子”传信、“祝融”探火，用英语讲述中国故事，做好对外宣传，并凸显我国实现高
水平科技自立自强的时代强音。教学内容同教授对象的专业相结合，强化岗位特色，让学生更
好地了解和适应未来职业岗位的要求。编写内容立足新时代职业教育大背景，以职业为关键词，
选取职业与个人、职业与社会、职业与环境主题的语言材料，在助力语言教学的同时，引导学
生贡献社会、关心社会、爱岗敬业，实现公共英语课程培根铸魂、启智增慧的功能，促进学生
全面发展。
3．设计应用情境，打造多模态理实一体课堂
语言技能训练板块均以职场情境、生活情境进行引导，方便学生理解语言运用的情境，为
其未来在具体情境中运用语言打下基础。单元项目融入职场情境，结合行业和企业对职业本科
学生语言技能的要求，从求职应聘、生产现场、服务售后等典型职业情境规划语言学习内容，
结合情境设计具体可操作任务，如小组讨论、实时报道、角色扮演、职场故事、海报制作、应
用文练习等，通过综合技能训练，使学生能够在日常生活和职场中运用英语进行有效的沟通。
