MY MISSION. All too often, learners of English reach B2 level with a sound grounding in grammar, but cannot speak fluently. To achieve C1 fluency, requires a vast knowledge of LEXIS. Lexis is more than individual words - it's clusters of words that are frequently used together - Lexical Chunks. They include collocations, idioms, phrasal verbs and set expressions. Being able to effortlessly bring these to mind in conversations is what constitutes fluency. My MISSION is to demonstrate these in action by using examples of how they are used in conversations - in context . Of course, grammar is important, but as Michael Lewis said in his book, 'The Lexical Approach' (1993), "Language is grammaticalised lexis" - not lexicalised grammar! What set me off on this mission? Over twenty years of teaching English and as a Teacher Trainer with the British Council, witnessing how little attention is devoted to the use of Lexical Chunks. My mission on this channel is to set this right.
