《英语国家社会与文化(第2版)》以《大学英语教学指南(2020?版)》的培养目标、课程设置、教学要求和教学原则为指导，结合《普通高等学校本科专业类教学质量国家标准》，以辽宁省资源共享课平台和中国高校外语慕课平台为依托编写而成，旨在培养学生跨文化交际能力和思辨能力，提高学生文化自信。
一、教材特色
1. 线上与线下的融合
本教材主题契合学生要求和时代特点，利用教学案例，帮助学生拓宽视野，培养跨文化意识，选材内容适合线上教学模式或线上线下混合式教学模式。通过课前导学、线上自主学习、课堂讲授重点难点、课后夯实所学内容，满足不同层次学生的个性化学习需求，激发学生学习兴趣，优化学习效果。
2. 语言与内容的融合
本教材充分呈现课程的应用性、互动性和知识性，利用丰富的选材和重大历史事件，客观、如实地反映主要英语国家的地理位置与资源、历史与象征、教育与娱乐、政治与经济、文化与习俗、跨文化交际等。大量有关文化的词汇和主题篇章使学生置身于文化课堂的氛围之中，领略文化课堂的教学魅力，体会英美习俗和人文，在学习英语知识的同时感受文化的熏陶，有助于培养学生的跨文化交际意识和能力。
二、教材内容
本教材共分为六章，介绍了英国、美国、澳大利亚、加拿大、新西兰和爱尔兰等六个主要英语国家的最新国情，供一或两个学期使用。每章介绍一个国家，每个国家均按照地理位置与资源(Location and Resources)、历史与象征(History and Symbols)、教育与娱乐(Education and Recreation)、政治与经济(Politics and Economy)、文化与习俗(Culture and Customs)以及跨文化交际(Intercultural Communication)等六个单元设置。在主题篇章中，对四、六级词汇进行标记。在跨文化交际单元中，案例分析部分以各国相关的文化案例为主，通过具体案例，把抽象的理论形象化、具体化，使学生能够学以致用。
同时，根据线上网络课程同步配套习题。练习部分涵盖训练基础技能的简答和写作训练，并附有练习题的参考答案。
在再版过程中，我们对原版的内容进行了全面的修订和更新，以反映英语国家社会与文化的最新发展，修改并增补了关于各国国情的最新情况和数据，尽量使内容更加丰富和具有时效性。同时增加了一个新的章节——爱尔兰，并且在每一章新增了国家标志性词汇列表。在练习方面，除删除以往形式陈旧的阅读理解部分之外，在跨文化交际这一单元，增加了丰富的关于中国传统文化的英汉互译练习和关于当代中国的拓展阅读材料训练，以贴合思政内容的教学要求，从而引导学生进一步了解中国传统文化，增强民族自豪感，坚定文化自信，学会在新时代中国特色社会主义文化的背景下去理解和表达中华民族5000多年文明历史所孕育的中华优秀传统文化，帮助学生在掌握翻译技巧的同时，强化语言沟通能力。
三、使用说明
本教材大部分内容用英语编写，以满足培养复合型、应用型国际化人才的需要，可作为英语专业本科生及研究生必修课或选修课教材、非英语专业的后续拓展课程教材、通识教育课程教材，以及英语学习者了解中西方文化的自学材料。跨校修读学分高校可根据省级资源共享课的实际教学情况和教学目标选择使用。
本教材是辽宁省普通本科高等学校校际合作项目、国家级一流本科课程“中西文化对比”、省级一流本科课程“英语国家社会与文化”、“英语国家国情”、省级教改项目“新文科背景下跨校修读学分课程及其资源的完善与重构”等阶段性学术成果。
本教材编者均为从事英语教育多年并具有丰富教学经验的一线教师，希望本教材能对我国高校外语教学做出新贡献。对于本教材中的不足之处，敬请专家、学者、同行及使用本教材的师生不吝指正，以期不断完善。
