This course focuses on the central role of vocabulary and lexical chunks in language learning. Students will examine how lexical units—such as collocations, fixed expressions, and formulaic language—enhance fluency and communication. The course emphasizes practical strategies for integrating the Lexical Approach into classroom teaching, including activities for developing learners' lexical competence. Through theoretical insights and hands-on practice, participants will gain the tools to design effective, vocabulary-rich lessons that align with modern ELT methodologies. Ideal for educators seeking to deepen their understanding of vocabulary instruction and its impact on language acquisition.

implementing a marketing plan. 'Finance' deals with financial records and
statements, cash flow management, management accounting and using financial
information, all in terms which are accessible to non-specialists. There are
clear explanations in each area supported by examples and case studies.
