Firstly, we think, lexis is another relevant part of
the correct use of English because it is connected to grammar and it gives more
emphasis to the meaning through the context. Additionally, lexis is referred to
individual words and sets of words which can give a meaning based on the
appropriate context.
Furthermore, we have learned a lot in this unit but what it caught us the attention was the
sets of words which can give a different meaning because the use of words not
always give a literal meaning. It gives in many times a figurative meaning that
can be found in phrasal verbs, collocations, idioms, etc. However, the use of
these phrases is complex because these sets of words can be used according to
the context employed to give the correct meaning in the use of these words.
Moreover, we were able to learn about chunks that are pieces of language used in written and spoken language. Additionally, we could find information about
false friends that are words that are similar in their speech in both languages but different in their
meaning.
To conclude, we as teachers, we will apply this
knowledge in teaching through the use of many activities which involve
technology, charts and practical examples to explain the use of the most common
phrasal verbs, idioms, false friends and chunks that can be helpful for the whole
class to get in touch with the foreign language.
