Questões de Concurso

Instead of teaching the verb make as an isolated vocabulary item, a teacher works with expressions found in authentic texts, such as make a decision, make a mistake, make progress and make an effort. Students later classify the combinations and use them in short dialogues. From a lexical approach perspective, this practice is appropriate because:

(a)

Repeated combinations facilitate vocabulary memorization before students begin analyzing their grammatical organization.

(b)

High-frequency verbs should be taught through their collocations because their individual meanings have limited communicative value.

(c)

Frequent word combinations can be learned as meaningful lexical units that support more fluent and conventional language use.

(d)

Teaching vocabulary in chunks is particularly useful for oral communication, while written production depends more directly on individual word knowledge.

(e)

Lexical combinations provide stable sentence models that reduce the need for learners to generate new grammatical structures.
