 Я занималась по этому учебнику только когда была на замене. Мое впечатление - слишком просто и неинтересно. Мне было неловко обсуждать с группой мужчин-инженеров разновидности дельфинов. Для взрослой аудитории я бы не рекомендовала, да и для студентов тоже. Есть курсы намного лучше.

Это отличный курс. Он прекрасно подходит для старших школьников и студентов. В нем есть все, что надо. Я бы не рекомендовала его для работающих взрослых или для тех, кто хочет выучить язык быстро. С этим курсом вы будете прогрессировать медленно, но верно. для школьников - он идеален. Недавно, например, я открыла, что уровень Pre-Intermediate охватывает все темы для ДПА в 9-м классе. В книге есть тексты, аудио, грамматика, разговорная практика, песни, диск с дополнительными заданиями, прилагается рабочая тетрадь и книга учителя с дополнительными заданиями, тесты к каждому юниту, тесты на повторение. Это полноценный учебник.

Что я могу сказать? Мне нравится этот курс. Его основа: Intermediate (B1-B2) - самая сильная и полезная книга.  Охватывает разные аспекты: звуки, ударение, ритм. Я тоже отрабатывала произношение по этим материалам. И если действительно задаться целью, то результат будет! С учениками я не вдаюсь в детали теории, а концентрирую внимание на аудио упражнениях. Их вполне достаточно.

Уровень Advanced предлагает нам познакомиться уже с более серьезными вещами: акценты, скорость, заглатывание звуков. Этот курс подходит уже самым любопытным. Кто действительно много внимания уделяет произношению.
