2. The lexical approach is a
method of teaching
languages described by
M. Lewis in the 1993s.
The basic concept on
which this approach
rests is the idea that an
important part of
learning a language
consists of being able to
understand and produce
lexical phrases as

3. A lexical approach in language teaching
refers to one derived from the belief that
the building blocks of language learning
and communication are not grammar,
functions, notions, or some other unit of
planning and teaching but lexis, that is,
words and words combinations.

4. Focus of an
development of
a vocabulary,
meaningful
chunks,
combine or
recombine to
know about
different
function or
purpose.

5. Language
is
Grammati
calized
lexis not
lexicalised
grammar.
Successful
language is a
wider concept
than accurate
language.

chunks, accumulation of chunks, use
of chunks and collocations.
Teaching individual collocations.
Making students aware of collocations.
THE WAYS

10. Extending what students already know
by adding knowledge of collocation.
restrictions to know vocabulary.
Storing collocations through
encouraging students to keep a lexical
notebook.

11. •Lexis is the basis of language.
• Ask and processes are emphasized.
•One of the central organizing principles
of any meaning-centered syllabus should
be lexis.

13. It lacks full
characterization
of an approach
lack of a
detailed learning
THE WEAKNESS

14. The lexical approach teach about
word and word combination.
There are collocation, idiom, etc.
Teach about the good language
learners do and how to do it. It is
lexically based theory of
language. Learning lexis is not
an easy task, it is a slow and
complex process which require a
lot of dedication and effort from
teachers and learners.
