Reviews

[Betty C.]

Despite what people say, I find this just as readable and interesting as "Implementing the Lexical Approach." Everything Lewis has written has profoundly changed my way of teaching EFL, at any rate.

Wish I had read this book a couple of decades ago. Thought provoking.

[Dominic Neesam]

A seminal work & a must for ELT teachers: language consists of grammaticalized lexis and not lexicalized grammar.
