In spite of its great popularity, little has been done to implement the lexical approach in either syllabus design or course book content. This workshop will look at ways some of the central principles of this approach can be applied to daily classroom practise.
This workshop pays particular attention to the use of spoken texts. Firstly, at the way naturalistic/real-life conversations can be presented in teaching materials as useful input for learners and then, at how students can be encouraged to incorporate high-frequency spoken chunks of language to improve their fluency. Video and audio examples from ‘New Framework’ will be presented to complement the presentation.
