I would like to help out I'm a graduate student at San
Francisco State Univesity's Adult Ed program, but I am
not sure sure what a graduate efl student is (Is it an
exchange foreign language student? If so from what
country?

I strongly agree that the last House on Mango Street
by Sandra Cisneros is a good book especially for
latino readers. It is a good book because it is
written in a short vignette form,

Depending on the background of your students I might
be able to give you some suggestions.
