　　当前中国的高等教育在21世纪的第1个10年行将结束之际已大步走向国际化和全球化，正在逐步实施素质教育。《外语教学环境论：主题内容沉浸法研究》对高校在素质教育和国际化、全球化教育中外语教育的改革及外语教育与用外语讲授专业课程的专业教育两者之间如何协调配合等问题也进行了探讨。这种探讨对于深化我国的高等教育阶段的外语教育改革，对于专业教育如何应对国际化和全球化的趋势等应该是很有现实意义的探索。而且该项目所提出的措施和实施方案是在实证调查的基础上提出的结论。

•   本书正文以全英文写成，原型为作者在英国杜伦大学(Durham)完成的博士论文。作者在序言第二页中写道：由于时间关系，“原计划对书中的大部分内容进行修改”的计划未能完成。这可能是导致书中部分措辞欠妥的主因。如页104“It must be pointed out here in UK that Guangzhou, Beijing, Shanghai and Wuhan from Figure 4.1 are the biggest cities in China …”中“here in UK”这样的措辞，显然是作者作为博士生在英国撰写毕业论文时的写法。
