UNIT 2 LEXIS

 

                                                          UNIT 2 LEXIS

Lexis refers to individual words or sets of words that have a specific meaning. We can teach pupils key(important) basic definitions with many examples in order to keep in their minds new knowledge. In this in our hands are future teachers , imagine if we teach the words a tree and a family tree so they can imagine in different ways or they draw in their minds any kind of three with flowers, branches, a root but if they hear the word family tree they start to draw different familie´s members in their minds as they can imagine, it is called denotation because they think or have an idea how to represent the word that they listened from teacher. Moreover, it is useful to teach pupils words in context (situation) in which it is used, because if we do not that we can create a confusion in their learning language process. Furthermore, base words (the basic words or parts of a word from whivh other words can be made) are the principal root to add prefixes and suffixes  for example (easy- easier) (unsafe -safe). Firstly, pupils must recognize perfectly  parts of speech and  when they are used, how they are used, spelling, pronunciation in that way they get familiar with the terminology and then they try to put in practice. I would like to make with them a vocabulary mini book with pictures, definition, the part of speech, pronunciation, a sentence provided by them, the student´s name who tell the sentence, add an additional one from them, so I think that it will be a funny way to teach lexis. Make flashcards with definitions where  they have to provide the correct word or maybe just to write a sentence using idioms.chunks, collocations, in addition to encourage pupils to meet words like a bestfriend  because when they meet someone for the first time they want to know everything from him or her the same happen with new words to know little by little and then they enjoy using words.
