Description:
The lexical approach takes the view that lexis plays the central role in language learning and communication. It proposes that learning words and word combinations (lexical phrases or chunks) are the most important guarantor of conversational fluency. These lexical units are learned and used as single items. It is estimated that fluent speakers have hundreds of thousands of these prefabricated lexical units. Word collocations and word frequency are other important features of the lexical approach to language learning. This presentation will discuss the lexical approach and its practical application in the classroom. Materials will be presented and activities tried out, including whole class communicative exercises, listening tasks and self-study worksheets.
