I have always loved both telling and listening to stories. My dad instilled in me this love for tales when he wrote and recounted his own stories to my siblings and me when we were caravanning around Europe.

With my own students, I’ve seen how narratives are a fantastic vehicle for introducing juicy lexis within a memorable and meaningful context. If they are given the opportunity to react and share their own personal stories, the language is much more likely to stick and become part of their active vocabulary.

Lexicalship aims to combine a love for telling stories, sharing anecdotes, and performing tasks with a passion for exploring lexical chunks. By choosing topics, ideas and concepts that people naturally share in real life, incorporating elements of task-based learning with the lexical approach, we feel we have an effective and entertaining way to help you upgrade your language output.
