本书从教育要素的“五要素说”为出发点，阐明外语教学五要素的建构意义。接着以阴阳五行为基础，提出教师、教法、教材、学生和学法五大要素与阴阳五行有属性上的类比性、机制上的趋同性、功能上的对等性和动因上的一致性关系。由此建立外语教学的动态平衡系统和动态教学实践范式，让教师和学生有了明确的把手和契入点，这对解决我国的基础外语教学的“费时低效”和“思辨缺席”问题，提供新的视角。本书还将说明，教学中的五要素间都有类似相生相克、相乘相侮的的关系，比如“教师与学生”、“教法与学法”、“教师与教材”和“学生与教材”等等教学要素之间的关系不仅是单向的，而且是双向的。书中还提出若干教学策略和基于五行要素的课堂管理方案。
