The Lexical Approach

The Lexical Approach is an evaluation of the theory and practice of ELT with a clear statement of a new direction.
The Lexical Approach develops current thinking, synthesising the best insights of previous theory, corpus linguistics, discourse analysis, and modern approaches to grammar.
Since his earliest teaching in the late 1960s, Michael Lewis has witnessed the many changes of direction and emphasis in ELT. As teacher, trainer, writer, and publisher, he is in a unique position to bring together the many strands necessary to develops and Approach which not only has a sound theoretical base, but also takes account of practical constraints. The practical implications for methods, materials, and teacher training are fully developed.
The Lexical Approach is a serious attempt at revaluation for the individual teacher and the profession. It is a book for teachers, trainers, and anyone involved in the teaching of English language.
