張揚主編的《英語報刊閱讀教程》編寫考慮到了跨文化交際教育和新聞英語工具性的特點。報刊英語具有題材廣泛，內容新穎，語言地道的顯著特點。豐富的題材，新穎的內容幫助學生了解中外不同的世界觀、價值觀和思維方式，培養學生中外文化差異意識。地道的語言為同學們學習現代英語提供了實用有效的材料。
本教程共設八個單元，主題涉及校園、科技、醫藥、政治、體育、娛樂、飲食和經濟。由於本教程過去作為校本教材在編者所任教的醫科類院校使用，所以在文章選取時會有向醫學或醫學人文貼近的傾向。而作為對ESP課程的探索，本教程每個單元都附了英語報刊相關知識的介紹，講解新聞英語的語言特點、語法知識和閱讀技巧等，增強學生運用新聞英語專業知識進行英語報刊閱讀和英語新聞寫作的能力。
此外，通過對研究生入學考試英語大綱的研讀，以及對近年來研究生英語入學考試真題閱讀部分的分析，我們會發現考研英語閱讀的選材大多來自於英美國家主流的報刊。本教程的使用可以幫助訓練同學們新聞英語的思維，掌握新聞英語的特點，增強新聞英語的閱讀效果，這必將對未來同學們參加研究生英語入學考試大有裨益。
