In this workshop we will explore the idea of teaching lexically and in context, in input-rich classrooms. We will understand principles about how we learn a foreign language but most importantly, we will present a bank of activities built-up on lexically routed techniques, involving all skills. The hands-on workshop will focus on such techniques that help learners store vocabulary in their long term memory and use it meaningfully.
