Since the publication of the “Lexical Approach” by Michael Lewis in 1993, Language teaching practices have been widely reviewed and discussed. Michael Lewis observed that "language consists of grammaticalized lexis, not lexicalised grammar".
According to the Lexical Approach, choose the only alternative that conveys its methodological implications.
The idea is that, rather than have students memorize lists of vocabulary, they would learn commonly used phrases, based on the observation that an understanding of words and chunks is the primary method of language learning.
This language teaching is based on the idea that learning language successfully comes through teaching journals, peer-observation and recordings of a lesson.
It encourages students to understand what they are learning as they are learning, not only allowing them to understand what but why and how they are learning it.
Lessons are more learner-centered and classroom activities are characterized by trying to produce meaningful and real communication, at all levels.
It consists of practicing question forms by asking learners to find out personal information about their colleagues, for example.
