PDF #146 – Michael Lewis – Pedagogical implications of the lexical approach
Language has traditionally been divided into grammar and vocabulary. Crudely, the former consisted of elements of the generative system of the language and the latter was the stock of fixed nongenerative ‘words’. Recently, this analysis has been challenged and shown to be seriously misguided from both strictly linguistic and pedagogical points of view (Lewis, 1993; Nattinger & DeCarrico, 1992; Willis, 1990).
PDF #145 – The lexical approach: collocability, fluency and implications for teaching
The lexical approach identifies lexis as the basis of language and focuses on the principle that language consists of grammaticalized lexis. In second language acquisition, over the past few years, this approach has generated great interest as an alternative to traditional grammar-based teaching methods.

Learning a language of course requires a focus on many different skills, but research revealed that students tend to measure their progress through their confidence and ability to speak spontaneously in the ‘real world’. That can sometimes be the simplest of exchanges, from helping a tourist with directions on the street to greeting a colleague from overseas. However, speaking spontaneously in English can be very daunting for learners who often find they lack the confidence they need to take risks with the language.
