I used Fromkin & Rodman for many years, and I agree -- it's ok. I've

recently switched to Ohio State University _Language Files_. If you

haven't seen it, look it over before you make your decision. I think I

like it better -- not so many hidden agendas apparent.

did it work? Is there perhaps a better text to use?





It was okay. It covered the basics without transcending either my or the

students' capabilities.
