學習英語必須了解英美文化，因為語言是文化的組成部分，是文化的載體，兩者息息相關(guān)。大量事實表明，語言理解的障礙往往不在語言結(jié)構(gòu)本身，而在相關(guān)文化知識的缺乏。何謂文化？從廣義來說，文化是人類在社會和歷史發(fā)展進程中創(chuàng)造的物質(zhì)財富和精神財富的總和，包括文學、藝術(shù)、音樂、科學、技術(shù)、哲學、地理、建筑等。從狹義來說，文化是人們的生活方式、風俗習慣、行為準則等。所有這些，都需要用語言表達。英語有句名言：想要掌握兩種語言，必須掌握兩種文化。（Tobe bilingual，One must be bicultural.）英美文化對于廣大的英語學習者的重要性可見一斑，而對于廣大的一線英語教師來說，如果能夠掌握廣博的英美文化，不僅能夠提升自己的文化素養(yǎng)，能夠更加準確、傳神地講述教材，取得較好的教學效果，還能夠進一步激發(fā)學生學習英語的興趣和積極性，擴展他們的國際視野。
外研社基礎(chǔ)教育分社經(jīng)過長達四年的調(diào)查研究，廣泛地聽取了廣大一線教師的意見，決定開發(fā)一套英美文化讀本，以滿足中小學英語教師的需求，并兼顧大專院校學生和一般讀者的需求。為此，中方團隊密切關(guān)注英美文化發(fā)展的最新態(tài)勢，遵循國家《英語課程標準》的精神和中國學生學習英語的實際，提出選題方案，然后依據(jù)文章主題聘請各個領(lǐng)域的英美學者撰寫書稿。在稿件完成后，中方專家又就內(nèi)容和語言問題提出意見，請英美學者再進行修改和完善而成。
