Teaching chunks of language

Teaching Chunks of Language is a motivating resource book based on the fundamental assumptions of the so-called lexical (or chunk teaching) approach. Language as used by native speakers consists substantially of memorized multi-word chunks (e.g. by the way).

For learners of a foreign language, knowledge of chunks is strongly associated with important aspects of proficiency such as oral fluency and naturalness of expression. The challenging question for foreign learners therefore is this: How can many chunks be committed to active, long-term memory? Teaching Chunks of Language suggests a communicative approach to the teaching of chunks of language.

Most of the activities presented are decidedly communicative and involve a lot of speaking and listening as well as intensive reading and some writing. Teaching Chunks of Language is organised in 4 chapters: RE-usable activities Activity sequences RE-usable review & learning quiz activities Testing techniques
