This study conducts a diachronic analysis of Chinese high school English textbooks published since 1996, focusing on structural changes and language skill development, especially the shift from four traditional skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) to the inclusion of a fifth: viewing. Drawing on eight textbooks across four official editions by the People’s Education Press, the study examines how pedagogical priorities have shifted over time in response to national curriculum reforms and global English language teaching trends. The findings reveal a transition from discrete, grammar-focused units to thematically organized, skill-integrated lessons. In particular, the 2019 edition of the textbooks marks a clear shift toward multimodal learning, with an emphasis on project-based tasks, visual literacy, and communicative competence. Meanwhile, an analysis of task distribution across skills indicates a trend toward balanced integration, although practical constraints, such as exam pressure and large class sizes, remain. These findings highlight the increasing alignment between textbook contents and theories of second language acquisition while underscoring the need for classroom-based research to evaluate the effectiveness of textbook contents in fostering meaningful learning in China’s public education system.

本研究对自从1996年间出版的中国高中英语教材进行了历时性分析，重点考察了其结构演变与语言技能内涵的发展，特别是从传统听、说、读、写四项技能向纳入“视听”第五技能的转变。研究以人民教育出版社的四个官方版本（共八册教材）为语料，探讨了教材的教学重心如何顺应国家课程改革与全球英语教学趋势而调整。结果表明，教材结构已从以语法为核心的分项单元，逐渐转向以主题为引领、注重技能整合的模式。2019年版教材尤为显著地体现了向多模态学习的转变，强调项目式任务、视觉素养及交际能力的培养。对技能分布的分析虽揭示了趋于均衡整合的态势，但实际教学仍受应试压力与大班制等因素制约。本研究揭示了教材内容与二语习得理论日趋契合的走向，并强调需通过课堂实证研究，进一步检验这些教材在中国公立教育体系中对促进有效语言学习的实际效用。
