Among our tried and true favorites are the Azar series of grammar books, and the Side by Side series for grammar through conversation. I don't think its the materials which keep them coming, but the students themselves who just want to continue improving. We have mostly, but not all, people from the former Soviet Union. Most, but not all, are well educated in their first language. Bernice
