Lexical approach

The Lexical approach is a method in language learning that emphasizes the importance of words and fixed phrases as the building blocks of communication. It suggests that language is made up largely of common patterns and chunks of words, rather than just individual vocabulary and grammar rules. By focusing on these key words and phrases, learners can understand and use language more naturally and fluently. Essentially, it highlights the idea that mastering typical word combinations is crucial for effective communication, making language learning more about recognizing and practicing these chunks rather than only memorizing rules.
