TEFL book of the decade?

“a book all teachers, teacher trainers and trainees should read at least once. She put into words so many of my own thoughts that reading it was like having a conversation with a close friend”

I wouldn’t go as far as that myself, but still The Experience of Language Teaching by Rose Senior gets my vote too. Any other nominations?

Quote from a review of said book in the latest edition of Modern English Teacher magazine.

    ‘Vocabulary Myths’ by Keith Folse

    If you haven’t read this then you’re almost certainly a bad vocab teacher.

    I’d never heard of it, although it sounds like I’d heard most of the ideas secondhand without knowing where they came from.

    I can’t recommend it enough, really. You’ll feel like it’s presenting you with everything that you already know and yet at the same time make you realise that everything you’re currently doing is wrong.
