课程《主题英语阅读》以高等教育出版社的《大学体验英语》（提高目标下册）为课程教材，以教材提供的主题为单元学习线索，通过主题探索，从不同视角深入思考和分析问题，认识世界。并在“体验”主题的过程中提升英语应用能力。
本课程包含五个单元内容，单元主题涵盖了家庭、文化、职场、商业与伦理，全球化话题。课程通过Lead in视频和文章，探索单元主题的现实意义，建立起学习者与阅读主题之间的联系，激发学习者思考主题相关话题。通过深度分析主题相关两篇深度好文的思路历程，并仔细讲解重点词汇和语法结构，使学习者在深度思考主题的同时理解英语的语篇特征，提升学生的语言能力。同时，每个单元围绕当前话题推荐一篇拓展阅读文章，开拓学习者视野，从而更全面地了解主题。我们选择了一些文体轻松、内容亲切现实的英语素材，设计了一些有话可说、有话愿说的练习，使英语成为一种大家愿意参加的愉快经历和体验。
重庆大学5位资深英语教师通力合作，认真选材、精心设计、详细阐释，以期在启发学习者思考的同时，提供给学习者最地道的英语，引导学习者用英语去搜集信息、处理分析信息并能够最终传递信息，表达思想。
