I have started reading the latest book by Dr. Paul Nation, who is one of my favorite professors.
When I was a graduate student, I was in his vocabulary class. His class was quite enjoyable, and I learned a lot about effective vocabulary teaching and learning. Using word cards is one of his recommendation.
As you might know, Dr. Paul Nation is called "Mr. Vocabulary." You will learn quite a few strategies for both learning and teaching vocabulary from his books.
This new book is a good start for EFL teachers to prepare for the new academic year.
It is quite easy to understand and I feel as if I were taking his class again :)
I already LOVE this book!
