Everyday English

Hello dear colleagues,
I have a student who has a very high level of English, she has passed TOEFL, GMAT, spent a few weeks preparing for IELTS in England and she has always dealt with business, professional English. She uses a lot of GMAT vocabulary in her speech (teachers who have taught for GRE/GMAT �s verbal part will understand what it means). But it turned out that she can �t speak informal English, she gets confused when we listen to a recording where native speakers talk about everyday simple things. I use movies and we talk a lot and I teach her how to simplify her speech by trying different methods, but I was thinking...is there a good course book with informal, everyday English for very Advanced students?

I teach my conversation classes with Innovations, it �s full of natural expressions that can be used in practical situations.
