I'm wrapping up the semester and trying to get my boss to buy in English from Oxford University Press. It seems the best book I've found in my experience. If anyone has any feeback, it would be greatly appreciated.
Life's found me with a bunch of WORLD CLASS non-learners. I had an entire class fail an oral exam yesterday and I've been counseled by Chinese colleagues to fail no less than 5%. One guy said I could fail 20%. I am doing re-testing the next couple weeks.
I apoologize for going off topic in my own post but wish to add this side note: Geez Louise, I've been a bad student before but I never spent 6+ years studying the same subject. My students can't answer basic first meeting lessons nor ask any of the typical questions, e.g., "What happened?" or "What's happening?" that I do for the daily slide show.
What's wrong with this picture?

It isn't fun, but all the words are spelt right.
