MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

The lexical approach is a method of teaching foreign languages described by Michael Lewis in the early 1990s. According to his theory, what is the key to teaching lexical chunks?
To teach vocabulary as the primary task in class.
To ask students to memory as many as new words.
To treat lexical chunks in the same way as individual words.
To use a lexicon dictionary as a supplement.
Answer explanation
The lexical approach is a method of teaching foreign languages described by Michael Lewis in the early 1990s.[1] The basic concept on which this approach rests is the idea that an important part of learning a language consists of being able to understand and produce lexical phrases as chunks. Students are taught to be able to perceive patterns of language (grammar) as well as have meaningful set uses of words at their disposal when they are taught in this way. In 2000, Norbert Schmitt, an American linguist and a Professor of Applied Linguistics at the University of Nottingham in the United Kingdom, contributed to a learning theory supporting the lexical approach he stated that "the mind stores and processes these [lexical] chunks as individual wholes."[2] The short-term capacity of the brain is much more limited than long-term and so it is much more efficient for our brain to pull up a lexical chunk as if it were one piece of information as opposed to pulling up each word as separate pieces of information.[3]
In the lexical approach, instruction focuses on fixed expressions that occur frequently in dialogues, which Lewis claims make up a larger part of discourse than unique phrases and sentences. Vocabulary is prized over grammar per se in this approach. The teaching of chunks and set phrases has become common in English as a foreign or second language, though this is not necessarily primarily due to the Lexical Approach. This is because anywhere from 55-80%[4] of native speakers' speech are derived from prefabricated phrases. Fluency could be considered unachievable if one did not learn prefabricated chunks or expressions.
Common lexical chunks include: Have you ever ... been / seen / had / heard / tried
Most language learners are accustomed to learning basic conversation starts, which are lexical chunks, including: "Good morning," "How are you?" "Where is the restroom?" "Thank you," "How much does this cost?"
Language learners also use lexical chunks as templates or formulas to create new phrases:
What are you doing?
What are you saying?
What are you cooking?
What are you looking for?

Pedagogical tasks refer to the uses of language in the world beyond the classroom.
Target tasks refer to the uses of language in the classroom.
The provision of opportunities for learners focuses on language only, but not the learning process.
It puts an emphasis on learning to communicate through interaction in the target language

Pedagogical tasks are things that learners undertake in order to acquire language in instructional settings. Target tasks, on the other hand are things that people do in everyday life. For language learners, these also provide opportunities for language learning as well as language activation.
