The key takeaways are that the lexical approach emphasizes the use of vocabulary rather than grammar and focuses on teaching language in chunks like collocations and phrases.

Some of the principles of the lexical approach are that language consists of grammaticalized lexis, it is made up of multi-word chunks, collocation is important, and grammar is subordinate to lexis.

Advantages include developing learner proficiency with vocabulary, focusing on real language use over artificial structures, emphasizing successful communication over accuracy, and viewing language as meaningful chunks rather than isolated words.

HISTORY GOAL
Principles

• Language consists of grammaticalised lexis.


• Language consists of multi-word ‘chunks’.
• A central element of language developing their ability to ‘chunk’
language successfully.
• Collocation is integrated .
• Evidence from computational linguistics and discourse analysis.
• Language is recognized as a personal resource.
• Successful language is a wiserconcept than accurate language.
• The primacy of speech over writing is recognized.
• The co-textual rather than situational elements of context which
are of primary importance for language teaching.
• Socio-linguistic competence-communicative power-precedes.
• Grammar as structure is subordinate to lexis.
• Grammatical error is recognised as intrinsic to the learning
process.
• Grammar as a receptive skill.
• Sub-sentential and supra-sentential grammatical ideas are given
greater emphasis.
• Receptive skills, particularly listening, are given enhanced status.
• The Present-Practise-Produce paradigm is rejected, in favour of a
paradigm based on the Observe-Hypothesise-Experiment cycle.
• Recycling and reviewing the language taught.
Procedure

 Attracting student attention to lexical collocation


 Increasing student retention
 Teaching individual collocations
 Making students aware of collocation
 Extending what student already know by adding
knowledge of collocation restrictions to know
vocabulary
 Storing collocations through encouraging students to
keep a lexical notebook.

Techniques
o Develops learner proficiency with
lexis or words and word
combinations
o Focus on teaching real English and a
shift away from the artificial
Advantages language
o Emphasis is on successful
communication.
o Language is not learnt by learning
individual sounds and structure , but
by an increasing ability.
o Language consist of meaningful
chunks that, when combined,
produce continuous coherent text,
and only a minority of spoken
sentences are entirely novel
creations.
 Language cannot be simply
divided into deferent units in real-
life.
 Some topics that are traditionally
Disadvantages considered advance can actually
be taught at much lower levels
 Teaches and learners need training
in using computational tools to
analyse data received.
 Still needs to be demonstrated
how a lexically based theory of
language and language learning
can be applied at the levels of
design and procedure language
teaching.
Conclusion
Emphasizes use of vocabulary
rather than using grammar
A
B More emphasis on chunk, idiom,
collocation and fix phrase.
Communicative abilities by focusing
on successful language rather than
accurate language. C
D Makes students more critical and teaches
good language and learning lexis.
