The CDs are well-recorded, and the listening activities plentiful and varied. An effort is made to provide a variety of accents and speakers- always a good thing- and none of the accents are terribly obscure. The listenings start a bit slower and more deliberate than natural speech and given the complexity of the vocabulary and structures, this is probably a good choice. The first 8 listenings slowly work towards a natural, native rate of delivery and from that point on (somewhere in Unit 3), the variations all feel quite natural. UK, US and Australian speech are all represented (in a fairly mainstream ‘broadcast English’ sort of way), and the usual smattering of ‘foreigners speaking English’ all have distinct accents (although they are either watered-down versions or the speaker speaks more slowly). It is arguable whether this is useful ‘practice’ or not but students should not, at any rate, find it frustrating.
