26/05/2016 - Teacher Training Seminar for Teachers of English

Traditionally, lexis was thought to play a lesser role in a student‘s language development than grammar, and was therefore treated by coursebooks and teachers as being of minor importance next to modal verbs, articles, and tenses. With more recent discoveries lexis is now widely regarded to be equal to - if not more important than - grammar in the language classroom. However, lexis is still often underestimated today, and teaching it effectively involves taking into account a range of considerations to do with semantics, syntax, phonology, pragmatics, and cognitive psychology. This session will be devoted to exploring these issues and more, so that we can better target our lexis teaching to our students‘ own needs.
