FarnhamCastle	2:02 PM	RT @rliberni: Hello and welcome to today's #eltchat on the topic of How can we teach lexical grammar, going beyond “single word” lists
sandymillin	2:02 PM	Had great trouble planning an experimental lexical approach lesson for conditional-type sentences. @fionamau really helped me! #eltchat
cherrymp	2:04 PM	RT @rliberni: Don't forget the hashtag #eltchat  at the end of your tweets otherwise we'll miss your pearls :-) > yeah ^^
BobK99	2:04 PM	Cd we kick off the #eltchat by defining terms? Are we just talking about vocab?
Shaunwilden	2:04 PM	Are we all happy with what lexical grammar is? #eltchat
cherrymp	2:04 PM	RT @rliberni: Your moderators today are myself and @Shaunwilden pls ask us if you have any questions #eltchat
rliberni	2:04 PM	Don't forget the hashtag #eltchat  at the end of your tweets otherwise we'll miss your pearls :-)
esolcourses	2:05 PM	RT @harrisonmike: So #eltchat, what do you mean by lexical grammar? #havelittleideawhatitis ] #not100%surewhatitiseither
BethCagnol	2:05 PM	Happy to be present, but might be distant during this #ELTChat . My doctors will B taking an exam at the same time at 13:30.
harrisonmike	2:05 PM	@Shaunwilden No! #eltchat
marcusmurilo	2:05 PM	i'm also unsure of what is meant by lexical grammar... :S #eltchat
hartle	2:05 PM	Mjor prob that crsboks often teach single word lists & stds learn meaning but not use #eltchat
aClilToClimb	2:05 PM	WHere did that come from? I meant home #ELTchat
harrisonmike	2:05 PM	So #eltchat, what do you mean by lexical grammar? #havelittleideawhatitis
BethCagnol	2:06 PM	@Shaunwilden By lexical grammar do we mean things like teaching the pres perfect lexically? Chunking "I have been here for..." #ELTChat
rliberni	2:06 PM	RT @Shaunwilden: Darn I was hoping someone one would tell me ;-)  does this help? http://bit.ly/lvbBg6 #eltchat
ann_f	2:06 PM	lexical grammar: contradiction in terms? #eltchat
Shaunwilden	2:06 PM	Darn I was hoping someone one would tell me ;-)  does this help? http://bit.ly/lvbBg6 #eltchat
Shaunwilden	2:07 PM	Unf most links seem to be to pdfs when you google #eltchat
marcusmurilo	2:07 PM	@ann_f  i don't think there's anything contradiction there. what would the contradiction be exactly in your view? #eltchat
rliberni	2:07 PM	Definition anyone? #eltchat
marcusmurilo	2:07 PM	@Shaunwilden  thanks for the link!!  #eltchat
sandymillin	2:07 PM	@TeachingEnglish was about second conditionals...will upload it to slideshare in a minute #eltchat
Shaunwilden	2:07 PM	@ann_f I dont think so i think is the collocations, chunks etc #eltchat
rliberni	2:07 PM	RT @BethCagnol: @Shaunwilden By lexical grammar do we mean things like teaching the pres perfect lexically? Chunking "I have been here for..." #ELTChat
hartle	2:07 PM	RT @hartle: #eltchat lexical grammar everythng that goes with single items: count/uncount, collocation, patterning, semantic prosody etc
sandymillin	2:08 PM	RT @Shaunwilden: @ann_f I dont think so i think is the collocations, chunks etc #eltchat < lexical approach type stuff?

teachingenglish	2:09 PM	Find chunks, collocations easier to swallow RT @Shaunwilden: @ann_f I dont think so i think is the collocations, chunks etc #eltchat
hartle	2:09 PM	For ex. a st can understand the word "possibilty" but uses it in the wrong way #eltchat
gknightbkk	2:10 PM	Lexis is central in meaning. Grammar plays a subservient role #eltchat
rliberni	2:10 PM	would have thought most words would be taught in context except 4 dictionary work & some lexical sets like animals for instance #eltchat
sandymillin	2:10 PM	is it to do with 'colligations'? another term ;) =the grammar that goes with a word e.g. like + -ing or to+inf but not bare inf #eltchat
hartle	2:10 PM	My stds often say "I have the possibility to go to London" not natural English We don't collocate "have" with "possibility" #eltchat
chriscattaneo	2:10 PM	@sandymillin do the words 'grammar' and 'lexis' collocate? #eltchat

sandymillin	2:11 PM	Do we know who proposed this #eltchat topic? Can they explain themselves? ;)
OUPELTGlobal	2:11 PM	RT @rliberni: would have thought most words would be taught in context except 4 dictionary work & some lexical sets  #eltchat
gknightbkk	2:11 PM	Language is grammaticalised lexis, not lexicalised grammar (Lewis 1993) #eltchat
hartle	2:11 PM	RT @sandymillin: @rliberni I think a lot of words are taught in context, but not necessarily explored in similar contexts/grammar not highlighted #eltchat
rliberni	2:11 PM	@ChrisCattaneo good question I have to say I was a bit stumped #eltchat
Shaunwilden	2:11 PM	RT @gknightbkk: Lexis is central in meaning. Grammar plays a subservient role #eltchat Not that I agree with :-)

hartle	2:11 PM	RT @sandymillin: is it to do with 'colligations'? #eltchat not only I thnk: collocation, colligation &semantic prosody
Shaunwilden	2:11 PM	RT @ChrisCattaneo: @sandymillin do the words 'grammar' and 'lexis' collocate? #eltchat Haha what about do they colligate?

lu_bodeman	2:12 PM	Reading over tweets on #eltchat. Can't figure out what lexical grammar is yet
hartle	2:12 PM	@sandymillin I proposed it #eltchat because coursebks tend to focus on single word lists #eltchat
rliberni	2:12 PM	RT @sandymillin: Do we know who proposed this #eltchat topic? Can they explain themselves? ;) just about to tweet this too!
sandymillin	2:12 PM	RT @gknightbkk: "Language is grammaticalised lexis, not lexicalised grammar" (Lewis 1993) #eltchat

BobK99	2:13 PM	RT @gknightbkk: "Lang is grammaticalised lexis, not lexicalised grammar" (Lewis 1993) #eltchat! Gd man, Lewis, bt I'll have to thk abt that
sandymillin	2:13 PM	@hartle so can you rephrase the question a bit? #eltchat think we're all a bit confused!
rliberni	2:13 PM	@hartle  can you give us your definition? #eltchat
hartle	2:13 PM	Stds need to know what goes with those single items not just the meaning #eltchat
hartle	2:14 PM	RT @OUPELTGlobal: @hartle I can see a problelm ... #eltchat teaching in context already gd but stds need more,

marcusmurilo	2:14 PM	@lu_bodeman someone posted this link http://is.gd/LqEuJS which you might want to take a look at ;) #eltchat
sandymillin	2:14 PM	#eltchat so could one problem be that e.g. in one lesson we focus on present cont. and in another a set of 20 verbs>how to link 2ge more?
esolcourses	2:14 PM	RT @AlexandraKouk: Does there need to be a clash between teaching grammar and teaching lexis? Most natural to teach them  together? #ELTchat
esolcourses	2:14 PM	maybe @thornburyscott's "L is for Michael Lewis" might shed a bit more light? #ELTChat
gknightbkk	2:14 PM	We need to teach lexical chunks that have grammatical info attached to them #eltchat
OUPELTGlobal	2:14 PM	@hartle I can see a problelm in simply teaching word lists, but I assume most teachers would give them a context, no? #eltchat

Shaunwilden	2:15 PM	@esolcourses @AlexandraKouk isnt that the point, we teach them together? Teaching a single word is pointless as sts cant use it  #eltchat
sandymillin	2:15 PM	@bethcagnol that's my problem. i'm not sure how to teach grammar lexically...had to experiment 4 recent course - struggled #ELTChat
esolcourses	2:15 PM	RT @bethcagnol: Who thinks there's a split in pedagogy: those who teach grammar "mathematically" and those who teach it lexically? #ELTChat

hartle	2:16 PM	RT @ann_f: If it just comes down ...#eltchat No that's a first step but then users can notice patterning and experiment
sandymillin	2:16 PM	My attempt at teaching second conditional lexically (with @fionamau's help!) http://slidesha.re/mphoiW Don't know if it works! #eltchat
rliberni	2:16 PM	Is the problem this thing we call 'vocabulary' which can often (me guilty too) seem like a stand alone thing? #eltchat
BethCagnol	2:16 PM	Currently working on a coursebook and teaching grammar lexically is heavily discouraged. It's discouraging!! #ELTChat
AlexandraKouk	2:16 PM	There are different approaches, of course! Don't know about a split... #ELTchat
FarnhamCastle	2:16 PM	@OUPELTGlobal  Grammar without lexis is irrelevant.  Grammar needs  meaning to give it relevance #eltchat
hartle	2:16 PM	Using concordancing can help http://bit.ly/c9400A #eltchat. Put in a word and study the cotext, what goes with it etc.
esolcourses	2:16 PM	@bethcagnol yep, inclined to agree. #ELTChat
ann_f	2:16 PM	If it just comes down to teaching vocab in context., problem solved! #eltchat
gknightbkk	2:16 PM	My Ss saying "Speed down" have a lexical problem not a grammatical one #eltchat

marcusmurilo	2:17 PM	@bethcagnol  think many of us were trained to teach it mathematically... not so sure how to teach it lexically myself... #eltchat
AlexandraKouk	2:18 PM	RT @Shaunwilden: maybe exploring lexical priming will help the confusion  - here's a quite clear explanation http://bit.ly/m3lF8c #eltchat
marcusmurilo	2:18 PM	true! RT @rliberni: Is the problem this thing we call 'vocabulary' which can often (me guilty too) seem like a stand alone thing? #eltchat
MissLadyCaz	2:18 PM	Context is so important. Otherwise it's a blind and meaningless journey into a variety of unknown words/phrases. #eltchat
BethCagnol	2:18 PM	I think there's a time and a place for mathematical and lexical grammar teaching. Both should be used. #ELTChat

rliberni	2:19 PM	@MissLadyCaz Hi and welcome to #eltchat - must be late for you?
ann_f	2:19 PM	Lexical priming also seems more for advanced students #eltchat
MissLadyCaz	2:19 PM	Hello, by the way, from Australia #eltchat
esolcourses	2:19 PM	@Shaunwilden @AlexandraKouk agree, Shaun - tho' playing devil's advocate, couldn't the same be said about grammar translation? ;-) #eltchat
BobK99	2:19 PM	RT @BobK99: @bethcagnol Gd question. One of my CELTA teachers actually used the term: e.g. 'Lets look at the maths of this struc.' #eltchat
sandymillin	2:19 PM	@hartle would really like to see ways to use this - think it's useful but v. time-consuming 4 teacher. also 1 word focus #eltchat

OUPELTGlobal	2:20 PM	Does teaching different contexts for the same wrod help or confuse students? #eltchat
LogicalChoice	2:20 PM	@esolcourses @bethcagnol Totally agree. I'm inclined to side with the mathematical method because that is what has worked for me. #ELTChat

AlexandraKouk	2:21 PM	RT @OUPELTGlobal: Does teaching difft contexts 4 the same wrod help or confuse students? #eltchat > depends on their level & on how U do it
Shaunwilden	2:21 PM	@OUPELTGlobal  Depends on level and amount of contexts? #eltchat
esolcourses	2:21 PM	@Shaunwilden was more thinking of grammar presented in an artificial way that students wouldn't really get to use in real life #ELTChat
BethCagnol	2:21 PM	I think some tchs like teaching grammar mathematically b/c it's easier to test it. #ELTChat
