Podejście leksykalne Michaela Lewisa a glottodydaktyka polonistyczna
Lexical Approach and teaching Polish as a foreign language

Summary/Abstract: The Lexical Approach puts vocabulary acquisition in a central role in language learning. According to M. Lewis (1993, 1997) native speakers carry a pool of hundreds of thousands, and possibly millions, of lexical chunks in their heads ready to draw upon in order to produce fluent, accurate and meaningful utterances. Therefore he emphasizes the importance of word combination patterns in language and their use in teaching and learning a language. The first part of the article discusses broadly the idea put forward by the British scholar, pointing out its strong and weak points; the second one, presents the possibility of implementing lexical approach in teaching Polish as a foreign language.
