Foreign language teaching method developed by Michael Lewis. According to him, language is composed by chunks (groups of lexical items) which students should be able to recognize and organize to produce speech. The teacher plays a very important part, once he or she is the source of almost every input. This method states that language consists of grammaticalised lexis, not lexicalised grammar.
Some of the premises of the lexical approach are very useful for students. Learning contextualized language can be easier than learning “solid” grammar, but the teacher should keep in mind that getting to know lists of words by heart is not an effective way of being an independent user of the language.
