Cara and others, Have you heard of the American Journal Experts? They are an organization to which non-native English speakers can submit manuscripts to for review by graduate students and retired professors before they finally submit to journals.
http://www.journalexperts.com/ I don't intend to promote that site in particular; I'm sure they are many others that serve similar purposes. Might help your students with a final draft.

I'm working hard to get my Taiwanese students to attend and follow directions, but it is an uphill battle. Some authors are just going to need some help.
