"LEXICAL APPROACH." The Lexical Approach is a unique approach in TESOL methods. This approach starts from the position that language learning is not about the individual word but rather multi-word chunks. As such, a student should focus learning various combinations of word chunks. Dr.Moustafa shalaby Dr.Moustafa shalaby It is a language teaching method published by Michael Lewis in 1993 (Lewis, 1993).

Dr.Moustafa shalaby Idioms Idioms are expressions whose meanings are not predictable from the usual meanings of their constituent elements. They often convey a figurative meaning that is culturally understood. Example: Shed Crocodile Tears Explanation: This idiom means to display false or insincere sorrow. The phrase originates from an ancient belief that crocodiles weep while eating their prey. Use in a Sentence: "The politician shed crocodile tears over the budget cuts, but everyone knew he supported them." Example: Dead Drunk Explanation: This idiom describes someone who is extremely intoxicated. Use in a Sentence: "After the party, he was dead drunk and couldn’t even stand up." Example: To Run Partnerships Explanation: This idiom means to manage or be actively involved in cooperative ventures or collaborations. Use in a Sentence: "She is known for her ability to run partnerships smoothly, making her an invaluable asset to the company." Each type of expression serves a unique role in language, enriching communication by adding nuance, emotion, or cultural context. Understanding and using these expressions effectively can enhance clarity and engagement in both written and spoken language. 5/21/2024 16
