Textbooks for heritage speakers

[Olia Prokopenko]

Dear colleagues,

Has anybody used Benjamin Rifkin's "Grammatika v kontekste" to teach
Russian to heritage speakers?

My "regular" students like the book: it seems to have a good balance
of literature and grammar; grammar explanations are clear and concise,
with minimum linguistic jargon and plenty of witty examples. I wonder
if Grammatika would also work in a heritage class.

I would appreciate your comments and suggestions. Please respond
off-list to oprokop at temple.edu.
