One of my students stopped by my office to ask me a question: she wants to buy her Mom some computer software to practice studying English at home. Her mother is apparently a high beginner-low preintermediate level.

Any suggestions as to software packages she should investigate?

I suggest you tell your student about the computer program Tell me More for English. The softaware is easy to use. I used this program to learn German. It worked for me. Check out the website from Auralog. www.auralog.com

We use Rosetta Stone and it works really well for beginning levels to low-intermediate. The thing I like about it is that you can keep track of just about everything the students do.

I am, however, looking for software that's aimed at upper-intermediate and advanced levels, but am having a very tough time finding it. Any ideas?

Learn To Speak English (Broderbund?)
Focus on Grammar (Longman)
are OK.
Look also at Tense Buster from Clarity.

Tne BBC has an immense series; don't know how good it is though.
