《走遍美国》(Family Album U. S. A. )
走遍美国简介
具有的特点：第一：它结合了文字、录音、录像、实景、卡通、广播、电视、光碟，是有史以来第一套高水平的多媒体（multimedia）美语教材。
第二：不同中于一般所谓“情景对话”的教材。
《走遍美国》（Family Album, U.S.A.）是以“电视影集”的形式呈现的。
这种形式，原出版者美国麦克米伦公司（Maxwell Macmillan International Publishing Group），在美国新闻总署（U.S. Information Agency）协助之下，对全世界105个国家的英语教学者广泛咨询之后才决定的。
这105个国家的近万英语老师和他们的学生一致认为电视剧情节感人，最能吸引学习者的兴趣。
因此，麦克米伦公司和它的数十位专家们，就把这套教材编成26集的电视连续剧，每集分三幕，组成一个完整的故事，而一集与一集之间，又能脉络一贯。
故事围绕着一个典型的美国家庭四代人生活展开，具有常有的人情味，依永的幽默感。
第三：《走遍美国》（Family Album, U.S.A.）电视影集，代表了极高的制作水平。
它的编剧兼导演William Greeves，以及动画制作群英会Dovetail Group, 都曾几度获电视界最高荣誉的艾美奖（Emmy Awards）。
它的演员都是优秀的专业演员，美语发音清晰，体态语言丰富，和常见的一些粗糙作品不可同日而语。
第四：这套教材，是以快速增进听说能力为主要目标，但也同时兼顾了语法、阅读和写作能力的全面培养。
它把语法教学巧妙地结合在“学习焦点”（Focus in）一节中，用轻松的歌谣、说唱、卡通、游戏等方式，使原本枯燥的语法学习，变得活泼有趣，达到寓教于乐的效果。
第五：这套教材，使用了典型的美式英语。
由于故事的角色涵盖了祖孙四代，因此，读者可以熟悉属于不同年龄层次的美国口语，这也是一般英语教材罕见的优点。
另外，值得一提的是剧中人物有意地使用正常的语速（Normal speed）说话，一方面让学习者习惯并模仿实际场合的正常语言，以使学以致用；另外一方面，更重要的，是让学习者充分体会美语口语中常用的缩短（Contractions）和弱化（Reductions）形式，养成听美语的正确习惯。
