是「通用學術英語讀寫系列教材」中的第三部。教材以英語文獻綜述這一學術體裁為中心，明確以提高學術英語讀寫能力為目標，遵循以讀促寫、讀寫並重的原則，有機結合語言輸入和輸出，幫助學生掌握學術規范，提高批判性思維能力。在閱讀方面，重點培養學生有意識地使用有效的閱讀策略，批判分析文章的篇章結構和論證的邏輯性；在寫作方面，重點幫助學生熟悉學術英語的寫作規范，避免抄襲，掌握轉述和摘要的寫作技巧，提升加工、整合信息以及清晰表達自己觀點的能力。《通用學術英語讀寫系列教材:英語文獻綜述讀寫教程》共8個單元，每個單元分閱讀和寫作兩部分。閱讀部分包括閱讀策略和課文兩個板塊，課文的體裁以綜述性文章為主，包括書評和文獻綜述；寫作部分圍繞書評寫作和文獻綜述寫作兩大任務展開。閱讀和寫作兩大部分看似相對獨立，實則互為依托。
