The document discusses lexical bundles, which are frequently occurring multi-word expressions in a given register or genre. Lexical bundles are not complete grammatical structures or idioms, but rather bridge phrases. They serve important functions in constructing discourse and indicating success within discourse communities. The document provides examples of lexical bundles from conversation and academic prose and categorizes them based on structural patterns and functional classification. It also discusses the importance of teaching lexical bundles to language learners.

The importance and benefits of teaching lexical chunks has been well-documented, but can some sort of order be imposed on an area which is so amorphous? This presentation suggests criteria for identifying idiomatic chunks in written and spoken texts, ways to explain their usage and to organize them for teaching.

Stages of Acquisition of first LanguageJoel Acosta
Language acquisition is the process by which humans acquire the capacity to perceive and comprehend language, as well as to produce and use words to communicate. The capacity to successfully use language requires one to acquire a range of tools including syntax, phonetics, and an extensive vocabulary. This language might be vocalized as with speech or manual as in sign. The human language capacity is represented in the brain.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

‘”LEXICAL BUNDLES”

2. LEXICAL BUNDLES
What does ‘LEXICAL BUNDLE’ mean?
The word Lexical has been derived
from Greek word lexis which means
words .
Where Greek word ‘Lexicos’ means
‘Of Words’, in English it is ‘Lexical’
that means ‘of words’
Therefore, ‘Lexical Bundles’ means
‘Bundles of Words’
3. Lexical Bundles are groups of words that occur
repeatedly together within the same register.
Lexical bundles are also referred to as
“N-grams”
“clusters” or
“chunks” and
are “extended collocations which appear more
frequently than expected by chance, helping
to shape and contributing to our sense of
coherence in a text”
4. Lexical Bundles
Are not idiomatic ; as idioms tend to have
fixedness in meaning and form. For example’
“kick the bucket”
Not complete grammatical structures
Bridge two phrases,
either two noun phrases (N+N)
or noun and a verb phrase (N+V)
May also introduce a dependent clause.
5. Importance/why to teach?
• Lexical bundles are used for the most important and the overt
considerations of the register.
• Serve as building blocks of a typical discourse
• Important indicators for determining the success of language
users within specific discourse communities.
• Crucially important for the construction of discourse in all
university registers.

• Of more importance for learners of specialized
academic discourse communities. For
example, EAP.
• Language learners achieve naturalness in use
of language.

overuse, underuse or misuse of formulaic
language.
