LEXICAL APPROACH.
We studied to with teacher Sam some important information about lexical approach. And in this blog I will write some of the new stuff That I learned today.
Vocabulary is the most important aspect of language. It consists of individual words and different types of chunks such as collocation, idioms and fixed expressions.
Language is learnt by learning chunks as whole and complete units. Chunks need to be noticed by learners in order to be learnt.
I list some practices that can be applied in the classroom.
1- Learners work with authentic written or spoken texts in the classroom.
2- Learners are given activities which encourage them to notice chunks in texts such as underlining g them.
3- After noticing chunks, learners are asked to carry out tasks which will involve them in using the chunks.
You did a good Job!
ReplyDeleteI admit that writing is the hardest skill for most of my students,,However, applying such practices the classroom will help them to write better and to understand the way of writing in English
Thank you Yahya for the great topic,
ReplyDeletethis approach will be welcomed by many teachers who emphasize
semantics knowledge in their teaching.
