Amazon网站上的买家对它的评价挺高的,作者在英语教学领域也颇有建树,整套教材看起来确有过人之处。原版系列一共是5张CD加一本书,我找到的是经过MP3抓轨软件处理过的,Mp3压缩率为128kps,音质非常好,这种音质对于语音训练来说简直有点奢侈。其实32kps就足够了。
我随机听了几个片断,感觉不错,的确是标准的北美语音。主讲人的语速有点快,所以对于听力还是有一点要求的。我个人认为这套教材对于介于初级和中级的英语学习者是非常有用的,那些希望改善自己发音的网友也可以尝试一下。
我下载的是一个压缩包,只有语音无教材,我加入PDF格式的文本教材,然后制作成一张ISO,以方便下载。
Book Description
The second edition of the highly acclaimed American Accent Training, now on 5 audio CDs, is for foreign-born students and business people working, traveling or studying in the United States and Canada. Through extensive intonation and pronunciation exercises, students learn how to speak with a standard American Accent. At the same time, listening comprehension improves dramatically. Supplementary materials included detailed nationality guides for eight languages (Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Spanish, French, German, Russian and Korean), access to a comprehensive website, and referral to a qualified telephone analyst for an individual diagnostic speech analysis. Also included are colored markers for written exercises, and a mirror to practice accurate pronunciation.
