Lexical Approach — 10 книг

Teaching Lexically shows what a lexical view of language looks like, and explores how it differs from a more traditional ‘grammar + words’ view. It then considers what implications such a view might have for classroom practice. At the heart of Teaching Lexically are three main ideas:

Grammar and vocabulary are both taught better in combination.
Context is absolutely central.
Classrooms need to be input-rich; and input needs to be useful.
Teaching Lexically contains three distinctive parts which focus in turn on theory, practice and development.

Part A provides a detailed exploration of the core ideas behind lexical teaching. The authors begin with the principles that explain how and why people learn, before presenting two competing views of language – ‘grammar + words’ (and skills) and a lexical view. They close with an in-depth exploration of how language looks when seen from a lexical perspective.

Part B contains a bank of activities that puts into practice the particular principles related to such areas of teaching as vocabulary, grammar, reading, listening, and so on. These activities are designed to be applied to any classroom material, and to help teachers build up their own repertoire of lexically-rooted techniques.

Part C addresses some of the issues and implications involved in where and how lexical teaching may be applied. It also considers how teacher training and development can become more lexically-oriented, finally suggesting ways to develop as a lexical materials writer.

THE COMPANY WORDS KEEP is a practical and thought-provoking guide for language teachers, showing how the latest insights into "language chunks" can lead to learners acquiring natural and fluent English. Here is a new methodology based on the Lexical Approach, a practical theory of language, of learning - and of teaching. The authors have drawn on their considerable experiences to reflect both on the situation of many non-native teachers around the world who are not always sure which word partnerships are likely and unlikely as well addressing native speakers who still need point-of-need confidence in class and in the key terms involved in the teaching of lexical chunks. They provide: an approach to all aspects of teaching chunks: from beginners to advanced, from ESP to exam preparation...; a glossary of essential terms: from acronyms to the Web, deixis to delexification, priming to pragmatics...; and a new methodology: a practical theory of language, of learning - and of teaching.
THE COMPANY WORDS KEEP contains three distinctive parts which focus in turn on theory, practice and development: Part A: answers three key questions: What is a chunk? How fixed is a chunk? How long is a chunk? The authors draw from three factors: the use of corpus data; an increased interest by linguists in word partnerships; and the availability of computational tools that can sort the data. Part B: offers a battery of over a hundred activities that will get your students chunking. They introduce and practise chunks, exploiting both the coursebook and authentic texts, as well as making the most of the immense possibilities afforded by the use of data processing. Part C: gives further insights, helping you to review what you know, reflect on the reality of lexical chunking and take steps to find out more for yourselves - in the interest of your personal and professional life.

"Implementing the Lexical Approach" develops the theoretical position set out in the author's highly acclaimed The Lexical Approach. The book adds new theoretical insights and comprehensive suggestions to enable teachers to take the approach directly into the classroom.

Detailed discussion of:
-
the importance of noticing; -
the value of repeating tasks; -
the design of lexical exercises; -
30 sample exercise types; -
50 activities with their lexical focus explained; -
classroom reports from teachers already using the approach successfully.

Although concerned primarily with what to do in class on a day-to-day basis there is also a discussion of important issues including:
-
different kinds of lexical items stored in the memory as units; -
the role of the learners' mother tongue; -
language areas deserving more attention in courses; -
the importance of spoken language in developing a phrasal lexicon; -
implications for pre- and in-service teacher training.

"Implementing the Lexical Approach" show clearly how lexis, grammar and phonology interact in ways which directly affect how learners store new language. It provides teachers with a comprehensive set of step-by-step changes which combine to ensure more effective teaching and more efficient learning.

This volume contains papers by a number of teachers and theoreticians interested in the practical classroom implications of incorporating collocation into everyday classroom teaching. The book is designed to: provide a perspective on collocation; provide practical ways of introducing the idea to students; give examples of good classroom practice; describe teachers' experiences; give examples of good practice from teachers' own experience; show practical classroom activities; and help students get the most out of their vocabulary notebooks.

This evaluation of the theory and practice of ELT takes on board current thinking and previous theory to offer a re-evaulation for the individual teacher and the profession as a whole. The book's main principles are that language consists of grammaticalised lexis not lexicalised grammar, that the grammar/vocabulary dichotomy is invalid, and that successful language is a wider concept than accurate language. Implications for methods, materials and teacher training are fully developed.

This book is for anyone is interested in the relationship between grammar and vocabulary. The introduction looks at recent developments in corpus linguistics and second language acquisition research and outlines the important role which chunks play in textual cohesion and in fluency, as well as in grammar acquisition. The practical part of the book provides practitioners with a large number of classroom suggestions and activities for making grammar teaching more lexical, and for making vocabulary practice more grammatical. Activities move from receptive to productive and can be used on their own or to supplement and enhance coursebook content.

Do you hate teaching some aspects of grammar? Do you ever feel frustrated that your students just don’t get it? Well, in Grammar Nonsense, Andrew Walkley and Hugh Dellar argue that you shouldn’t really blame yourself. The fault lies largely with the way grammar rules and methods have been passed down through training and published material and become established as the way of doing things: a straightjacket that we need to escape from. Through an entertaining series of rants and meditations on all things grammatical, from the use of the word 'grammar' to the horror of teaching verb patterns, they aim to pull apart rules which we give without thinking and to question approaches to practice that are seen as a must. Along the way, you’ll not only learn how published materials get written and about ideas such as 'the transformation fallacy' and 'grammar olives', but you’ll also get plenty of practical suggestions as to what to do about all this nonsense.

This book draws on research in presenting a language teaching program based on the use of "prefabricated language." It shows that the "lexical phrase" can serve as an effective basis for learning English.

This book represents a study aimed at investigating the effectiveness of an English for Science and Technology (EST) program based on the Lexical Approach in learning and using lexical chunks and technical terms by students of the Technology Department in the Workers University, Egypt. This program was based mainly on the students' technical and linguistic needs. The study adopted the one-group experimental design.Consequently, a group of 37 first-year students were randomly selected, and they received training through the suggested program. The program consisted of six technical units and two revision units. It was also preceded by an orientation session aiming at helping the students get acquainted with the suggested program.By the end of the treatment, the study tests were administered to the experimental group. The post-administration revealed the effectiveness of the program in developing the experimental group students' skills in learning and using technical vocabulary.
