Overcoming the challenge of learning new words
Speaker: Mostafa Rahimi

The situation is further complicated by the fact that new units are less frequent. Hence the difficulties with memorization and use in speech.

Lexical approach: a source of fluent speaking and writing
Speaker: Maria Roshchina
What will you learn from the webinar?
Lexical combinations – “chunks”, to which the lexical approach pays the most attention, play an almost decisive role in the beginning of mastering a second language. Students learn the pieces first and then can learn patterns from them, much like children learn their first language without explicitly following the rules. Thus, they produce spoken or written texts faster as they retrieve ready-to-use phrases from their memory. Want to dig deeper and put theory into practice? Join now!
