Grammar/Vocab Distinction

In this unit, we follow the traditional division of grammar and vocabulary, which has its uses since we can focus on grammar and vocab exercises. However, there is a growing focus on lexis -- words plus ....  -- and on lexicogrammar. It is harder to teach a course based on lexicogrammar because of a mass of lexis that  is difficult to organise and sequence, but there is a shift towards the inclusion of lexical phrases in language teaching. I raise the issue here in this clip(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5HZaw6Q8AE) and we will return to the topic in Week 11.
