  • Focusing on Lexis in English Classrooms in Japan: Analyses of Textbook Exercises and Proposals for Consciousness-Raising Activities
    Focusing on Lexis in English Classrooms in Japan: Analyses of Textbook Exercises and Proposals for Consciousness-raising Activities by Michiko Kasuya A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Arts of the University of Birmingham in part fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Teaching English as a Foreign or Second Language (TEFL/TESL) This dissertation consists of approximately 15,000 words Supervisor: Dr Susan Hunston Centre for English Language Studies School of English University of Birmingham Edgbaston Birmingham B15 2TT England March 2000 ABSTRACT Recently the importance of focusing on lexis has been widely recognised in language acquisition theories. In particular, it is considered indispensable to deal with fixed expressions, lexical collocations and patterns, in consciousness-raising ways. This dissertation has attempted to reveal the problems of activities in the current English classrooms in Japan, especially regarding lexis teaching, and to propose activities that could develop learners’ competence to use the language. By analysing exercises from authorised textbooks, it has become obvious that English teaching in Japan has two problems. Firstly, the activities need to be more carefully constructed as to what knowledge they aim to develop in learners. There is too much emphasis on features of single words and not enough focus on lexical collocations. Secondly, the ways the activities are conducted need improvement. They merely require learners to memorise and manipulate the lexical items, and do not encourage learners to examine them. This dissertation proposes several activities, such as creating a learner’s concordance, comparing English collocations with Japanese collocations, and connecting patterns and meanings using reference materials.

  • Trends in Second/Foreign Language Teaching and Learning: the Position Assigned to the Learning of Lexis Over the Years
    Advances in Language and Literary Studies ISSN: 2203-4714 Vol. 7 No. 6; December 2016 Australian International Academic Centre, Australia Flourishing Creativity & Literacy Trends in Second/Foreign Language Teaching and Learning: The Position Assigned to the Learning of Lexis over the Years Debbita Tan School of Languages, Literacies and Translation, Universiti Sains Malaysia, 11800 Penang, Malaysia E-mail: [email protected] Doi:10.7575/aiac.alls.v.7n.6p.84 Received: 08/08/2016 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.7575/aiac.alls.v.7n.6p.84 Accepted: 15/10/2016 Abstract There is no doubt that second/foreign language teaching and learning has evolved over the years, distinguishing varied trends in the course of its history. Interestingly, vocabulary has been the dominant focus in the last decades despite it being an undervalued and often overlooked component in the earlier stages. This reorientation is reflected not only in terms of classroom practices and education policies, but also in second/foreign language acquisition (SLA) research. The following seeks to provide an understanding of the position assigned to lexis within the scope of different methods implemented throughout the years, thus allowing us to: 1) trace the evolvement of the significance of vocabulary in SLA, and 2) appreciate the importance of lexical development in SLA. In congruity with these elements, current trends and practices related to second/foreign language vocabulary knowledge development are also discussed. This paper is of significance to scholars, researchers, language educators and curriculum designers. Keywords: SLA, lexis, lexical development, vocabulary learning, historical trends, current approaches 1. Introduction In recent decades, we have witnessed a general consensus among scholars, researchers and teachers that lexical development plays an essential role in mastering a second or foreign language.

  • Abstract : Grammar , Lexis and Context
    1 GRAMMAR , LEXIS AND CONTEXT Rob Batstone University of London , Institute of Education Thesis submitted for degree of PhD ABSTRACT : GRAMMAR , LEXIS AND CONTEXT Language teaching has been strongly influenced over recent years by talk of notions and functions , most notably through Wilkins' (1976) work on Notional Syllabuses . Yet the notional/functional syllabus has been criticized for failing to capture anything more than a superficial correspondence between form and meaning . In this thesis I argue for a framework in which a deeper congruence between form and meaning is developed . I identify regularities in the lexico-syntactic structure of English which express recognizable notional relationships , which in turn reflect deeper conceptualizations of relations between events and participants . These conceptualizations are represented on a semantic continuum of 'contextual distance' . By reference to this continuum , I argue that we can identify a clear congruence between increasing conceptual complexity and increasing lexico- syntactic complexity . This account gives considerable prominence to the role of lexis , and to the interdependence between grammar , lexis and context in the signalling of meaning , something which has not always been adequately considered within linguistics or within applied linguistics . I then consider a possible application of these ideas to pedagogy . In many 'product' approaches to syllabus design and methodology , learners work with language forms whose meanings are to an extent already fixed , with grammar subsuming lexis and with cotext and context already clearly related by the materials designer . In such approaches the interdependence between grammar , lexis and context is sometimes lost sight of , and I argue for a revised approach in which this interdependence is made central .

In keeping with these goals, ETS is committed to making its research freely available to the professional community and to the general public. Published accounts of ETS research, including papers in the ETS Research Report series, undergo a formal peer-review process by ETS staff to ensure that they meet established scientific and professional standards. All such ETS-conducted peer reviews are in addition to any reviews that outside organizations may provide as part of their own publication processes. Peer review notwithstanding, the positions expressed in the ETS Research Report series and other published accounts of ETS research are those of the authors and not necessarily those of the Officers and Trustees of Educational Testing Service. The Daniel Eignor Editorship is named in honor of Dr. Daniel R. Eignor, who from 2001 until 2011 served the Research and Development division as Editor for the ETS Research Report series.

In this book, he conveniently gathers together in one place seventeen articles he published between 1988 and 2003. The articles, which are grouped into six sections, mainly address methodological problems facing lexical semanticists, who comprise this book’s primary audience. However, as my description of the book below aims to reveal, many other scholars in linguistics can find plenty of food for thought in this stimulating collection. As this book suggests, words are indeed wonders.

    Lecture 1: Fundamentals of Lexicology 1. The Object of Lexicology and its Connection with Other Branches of Linguistics 2. Two Approaches to Language Study 3. Methods of Linguistic Analysis 4. The Perspectives of Modern English Lexicology 1. The Object of Lexicology and its Connection with Other Branches of Linguistics Lexicology derives from two Greek words lexis "word" and logos "learning". It is a branch of Linguistics dealing with the vocabulary system of the language. It studies the total sum of all the words that the language possesses. Thus, this science studies the properties of the words as the basic units of the language. The word can be defined as a structural and semantic entity of the language system. The word is simultaneously a semantic, grammatical and phonological unit. Lexicology studies various lexical units: words, variable word-groups, phraseological units, and morphemes which make up words. The word as well as any linguistic sign is a two-faced unit possessing both form and content or in other words sound-form and meaning. The term vocabulary means the total sum of words that there are in the language. The size of the vocabulary of any language is huge. No person can learn or know all the words of the language. Individual people possess their own total vocabulary consisting of all the words they know. Another word used to denote vocabulary is the term lexicon. In modern Linguistics three main meanings of the term lexicon are distinguished: 1) the vocabulary which a speaker of a language has in his or her head, that is, mental lexicon; 2) the set of lexemes of a language and the processes which are related to them; 3) the set of lexical items of a language.
