The lexical approach: collocability, fluency and implications for teaching

[EN] [EN] The lexical approach identifies lexis as the basis of language and focuses on the principle that language consists of grammaticalised lexis. in second language acquisition, over the past few years, this approach has generated great interest as an alternative to traditional grammar-based teaching methods. From a psycholinguistic point of view, the lexical approach consists of the capacity of understanding and producing lexical phrases as non-analysed entities (chunks). A growing body of literature concerning spoken fluency is in favour of integrating automaticity and formulaic language units into classroom practice. in line with the latest theories on SlA, we recommend the inclusion of a language awareness component as an integral part of this approach. The purpose is to induce what Schmidt (1990) calls noticing , i.e., registering forms in the input so as to store themin memory. This paper, which is in keeping with the interuniversity Research Project “Evidentialityin a multidisciplinary corpus of English research papers” of the University of las Palmas de Gran Canaria, provides a theoretical overview on theresearch of this approach taking into account both the methodological foundationson the subject and its pedagogical implications for SLA

O conhecimento e ações do treinador em situações de competição: o estudo da percepção dos treinadores da superliga brasileira de voleibol

[POR] Apesar da projeção do voleibol a nível mundial ter atraído a atenção para o estudo do processo do treino e do treinador, o número de estudos empíricos que investiguem a percepção destes profissionais no que respeita à intervenção em diferentes domínios de ação é ainda reduzida. Nesse sentido, com base no coaching model, a presente investigação procurou analisar, junto dos 24 treinadores da Superliga Brasileira de Voleibol, o seu conhecimento e ações, em situações de competição.
