Texts for adult one-on-one?

[PeterP]

Hello, everybody-

I'm beginning a one-on-one class with an adult who is at the upper-intermediate level. He's a scientist, who has been working in an English-speaking environment for some years, but he's not had any formal English training in more than twenty years.

He wants to work through a textbook with me so that we can make some sort of organized progress on all parts of the language: the skills, grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation.

Do you have any suggestions for a textbook which we could use? If it was part of a graded series, that would be useful for future work with him.

Thanks for your suggestions!

I like the Cambridge prep book called focus on first certificate. It is challenging, and fairly interesting.
