ABSTRACT
The Lexical Approach, developed by Michael Lewis and championed by Hugh Dellar, Ken Lachman, Bruno Leys and others, is more than just getting students to memorise lists of chunks. It is about teaching students to recognize useable chunks and then reproducing them in appropriate contexts. This interactive workshop takes you through one approach to getting students to recognize and use lexical chunks more effectively.
