Hello Jose,

Welcome to the group. If you have any questions about English or
teaching, there's probably someone here who can help you. Good luck
with your studies!

hello Jan
thank you for "the welcome"
I'd would like to share experiences as I said before
I'd like to know where are you from, Jan?
My first question is Does anyone know anything about "The lexical
approach"?
thank you
take care, all of you

Hi Joe!

You've asked about the lexical approach, but do you know the context?

My best wishes, Katya

Jose,

I agree with Catherine. The Lexical Approach is quite a big topic. If
you are just starting, there are plenty of teaching books about it out
there, including two by the 'big daddy' of the Lexical Approach
himself, Michael Lewis:

- The Lexical Approach, Michael Lewis, Language Teaching Publications,
January 1999 (quite theoretical)

- Implementing the Lexical Approach: Putting Theory into Practice,
Language Teaching Publications, January 1998 (probably the best one to
start with)

I got both of these on loan from the British Council library where I
live; you might find them in a BC library or university library near
you.

If books are difficult to come by, try entering a search string like
this in Yahoo! or Google:

+introduction +"lexical approach"

You should get a list of all sorts of web pages; here are two
'practical introductions' for teachers that I found useful a while ago:

http://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/think/methodology/lexical_approach1.shtml
http://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/think/methodology/lexical_approach2.shtml

Good luck!

I'd love to implement the lexical approach in a classroom and see how
it works

Hello, dao.china! This is not exactly a virtual student forum.
Basically, this group consists of a small group of English language
enthusiasts/professionals who work on helping students with their
English. If you have a question or comment regarding English, feel free
to pose it. We do not offer courses and demand participation. More or
less, we try to keep a positive tone, but that's about all there is in
the way of regulation here.
