  1. The Lexical Approach Assumptions about learning theory • Acquisition is based not on the application of formal rules but on an accumulation of examples from which learners make provisional generalizations. Language production is the product of previously met examples, not formal rules. • Noticing lexical chunks or collocations is a necessary but not sufficient condition for ”input” to become “intake”. http://www.slideshare.net/JolexM/the-lexical-approach-10373311

  2. The Lexical Approach Teaching and classroom activities. • Classroom procedures generally involve activities in which the learner pays attention to lexical collocations and seeks to enhance their retention and use of collocations. • Teachers should develop class activities that enable learners to discover collocations themselves, both in the classroom and in the language they encounter outside the classroom. http://www.slideshare.net/JolexM/the-lexical-approach-10373311

  3. The Lexical Approach Teaching and classroom activities. • Classroom procedures must include: • * Teaching indivudial collocations • * Making students aware of collocations • * Extending what students already know by • adding knowledge of collocation restrictions • to know vocabulary. • * Storing collocations through encouraging • students to keep a lexical notebook. http://www.slideshare.net/JolexM/the-lexical-approach-10373311
