Hi dear! There are some Oxford books that are specialized for different needs. For exp. Idioms and Phrasal Verbs, Grammar in Use and etc. for all levels including basic, intermediate, and advanced.
To improve vocabulary and idiomatic speech, you cannot just pick up a book. The best way to build vocabulary and knowledge of idioms is to speak, speak and speak. Reading about something will not mean you will be able to do it. To improve your vocabulary and idioms, you must speak, there is no other way.
I think it depends on the learners level. but I recommend Ulysses and word power made easy.
Thinking fast and slow

Repeat the words a lot and give a context to it, plus the picture of it. Find synonyms, make the student create sentences using the new vocab and finally of they write down a story using these new words, they won't probably forget about them easily :)
