Dear Laura:
We collapse 3rd and 4th year into one group and offer four 
non-sequential classes which the students are free to take in any 
order. Often these courses stresses a particular skill set or build 
particular vocabulary, to focus away from the presumed differences in 
student preparation.

We use _V puti_ as background grammar text in most of them, with 
supplementary materials drawn from other texts focused fundamentally 
on grammar.

Below are the texts we have used (or in one case are considering 
using) -- some must be supplemented with grammar, others incorporate 
it.

_Cinema for Russian Conversation (Kashper, Kagan, Morozova)_.
_A Guide to Essay Writing in Russian_  (Svetlana and Stephen 
LeFleming)
_Let’s Talk About Life!_  (Emily Tall & Valentina Vlasikova).
-Russkie kul'turnye idiomy. ("Inside the Russian Soul: A Historical 
Survey of Russian Cultural Patterns") - Yulia Nemirovskaia
_Advanced Russian Through History_ Rifkin, Kagan, Yatsenko
_Russian in Use.  An Interactive Approach to Advanced Communicative 
Competence_.  Sandra Freels Rosengrant

Hope this helps,
-FR
