English Language Teachers (ELT): Under The Covers

What is the Lexical Approach Teaching Method? The Lexical Approach is a language teaching method that prioritizes multi-word lexical phrases over individual words and grammar rules. It aims to develop learners' ability to recognize and use these phrases for natural, fluent speech and communicative competence. It emphasizes practical language skills and is seen as an alternative to traditional grammar-based methods. Michael Lewis developed this approach in the 1990s. #LexicalApproach #MichaelLewis #LexicalApproachMethod In the Teaching Methodology Exposed series, we take a look at notable language-teaching methods which have influenced us and wider education.
