Teaching lexis using MFP approach

Teaching for Passive vs Active use: 1) PASSIVE use (when pre-teaching for reading /listening): approximate MEANING 2) ACTIVE use: specific for MEANING, provide info re FORM, drill for PRONUNCIATION What does it mean to know the WORD? Ss can remember and understand, use the word with correct: M - meaning e.g. connotation, appropriate and formality F - form e.g. spelling, collocations, past forms, prefixes, what follows e.g. preposition, object. P - pronunciation e.g. sounds, word stress, weak/strong forms, linking sounds If you introduce a lot of vocabulary items, say more than 4, it would be INEFFICIENT and TIME-CONSUMING to introduce words individually. Here are some some alternatives: 1) Students match words to pictures 2) Students match words to definitions or translate 3) Students label pictures 4) Semantic categories 5) Categorising 6) Peer teaching Timecodes: 00:00 | Introduction 00:30 | Planning a lexis lesson 01:00 | 3 types of lessons 01:50 | Student-centred or teacher-centred? 03:00 | What is MFP? 03:10 | What is Meaning? 05:10 | What is Form? 06:50 | What is Pronunciation? 06:50 | How to prepare yourself for teaching Lexis? 09:40 | An example of teaching Lexis (teaching an idiom) 10:10 | Meaning analysis using context example 10:50 | Meaning check.
