Language Teachers react to a demonstration of a Lexical Approach class. We take a look at a demo from the Teacher Hugh Dellar of @lexicallab9848 . We give our expert opinion on the teaching in this example lesson.
What is the Lexical Approach Teaching Method?
The Lexical Approach is a language teaching method that prioritizes multi-word lexical phrases over individual words and grammar rules. It aims to develop learners’ ability to recognize and use these phrases for natural, fluent speech and communicative competence. It emphasizes practical language skills and is seen as an alternative to traditional grammar-based methods. Michael Lewis developed this approach in the 1990s.
In the ELT (English Language Teachers): Under The Covers react series, expert teachers break down teaching scenes from movies, TV shows and viral videos of classroom clips – and react to them with a light-hearted spicy commentary on the teaching situations/practices shown within them.
