Презентация на тему: "Анализ особенностей лексического подхода в обучении английскому языку. Методические заметки"

Lexical approach
“You could but you wouldn’t”

Pat, pet,pit,pot and put
BUT Sat, set,sit, sot and sut

Happy Christmass, Merry Christmass, Happy Birthday
BUT Merry Birthday
Arbitrariness of lexical items
English is like that

Our mental lexicon is larger than previously recognized
Prefabricated lexicon, ready to use
Mental lexicon
Large vocabulary
Knowing a lot of words

Words – simply one possible analytical tool. You will not learn to speak well by practicing the words. Learners need input rich in the prefabricated chunks.

Words are not the basic components
WORDS
INFORMATION CONTENT
COMMON WORDS
DE-LEXICALIZED WORDS
CONTRACTIONS
POLYWORDS

Collocation is linguistic, not thematic:
In Britain people drive cars and drink coffee, but in English they do not, or at least not very often.
Collocations or Word Partnerships

Information-content and collocation

Raising learners’ awareness of collocation may be one very efficient way of increasing their communicative power – that is, the ability to say more of what they want to say with the limited language resources at their disposal.
Pedagogic value of collocation

Many expressions have one or more slots which can be filled in only a limited number of ways.
I’ve got a stone in my shoe.
Nominal replacement: a stone/a pebble/something/some sand
linguistically: a banana - unlikely

Lexical Approach concentrates on actually-occurring or probable language
Frames, slots and fillers

The text can be crudely separated into two parts: a frame and slots.

The "Collins COBUILD English Course" has a new language syllabus - a lexical syllabus. Unlike traditional syllabuses, this lexical syllabus starts from a description of real language. COBUILD research has established that the 700 most frequent words of English account for 70% of all English text.
Lexical awareness helps

The organization is lexical, not structural

Extending existing practices with natural lexical alternatives:
Supplementing coursebooks

…lexis helps us handle highly probable events fluently and effortlessly by providing us with prefabricated way of dealing with them.
…lexical language is seen to cover a much greater area of the totality of language, particularly speech, than has usually been acknowledged.
What exactly is lexis, then?

Thank you for your attention!
