《心理学英语/21世纪EAP学术英语系列丛书》共分6个单元，每个单元涉及一个热点心理学专题，主要包含4方面内容：讲座、课文A、课文B和练习部分。具体说明如下：
　　讲座部分：内容与单元主题相关，长度在8—10分钟左右，包含3个练习。作为热身练习，学生在开始听材料之前，好先熟悉书中提供的词汇和术语，预先学习背景材料中的相关知识，以帮助听力理解。
　　课文部分：课文A和课文B都与每个单元的主题相关，有利于学生围绕相关主题进行深入的思考和讨论。学生在阅读课文时，归纳段落大意，总结全文，剖析观点，并结合当今心理学领域的问题展开讨论。对于文中所涉背景知识，要充分利用互联网查找背景资料，阅读材料，书写摘要，培养心理学学科中应具备的洞析能力及口、笔头表达能力。
　　练习部分：包含语义、句法及语篇方面的练习，涉及口语、写作及翻译技能。书中所设练习，多为心理学词汇或术语，要求学生强记强背，多使用文中学习的专业和学术语言进行写作和心理学案例分析，增强心理学专业英语语感。
