The Company Words Keep. Lexical Chunks in Language Teaching

Серия: "Delta Teacher Development Series"

The Company Words Keep is a practical and thought-provoking guide for language teachers, showing how the latest insights into language chunks can lead to learners acquiring natural and fluent English. Here is a new methodology based on the Lexical Approach, a practical theory of language, of learning - and of teaching. The authors have drawn on their considerable experiences to reflect both on the situation of many non-native teachers around the world who are not always sure which word partnerships are likely and unlikely as well addressing native speakers who still need point-of-need confidence in class and in the key terms involved in the teaching of lexical chunks. They provide: an approach to all aspects of teaching chunks: from beginners to advanced, from ESP to exam preparation; a glossary of essential terms: from acronyms to the Web, deixis to delexification, priming to pragmatics; and a new methodology: a practical theory of language, of learning - and of teaching. The Company Words Keep contains three distinctive parts which focus in turn on theory, practice and development: Part A: answers three key questions: What is a chunk? How fixed is a chunk? How long is a chunk? The authors draw from three factors: the use of corpus data; an increased interest by linguists in word partnerships; and the availability of computational tools that can sort the data. Part B: offers a battery of over a hundred activities that will get your students chunking. They introduce and practise chunks, exploiting both the coursebook and authentic texts, as well as making the most of the immense possibilities afforded by the use of data processing. Part C: gives further insights, helping you to review what you know, reflect on the reality of lexical chunking and take steps to find out more for yourselves - in the interest of your personal and professional life.

Paul was also selected to the West Coast High School Classic Best 11 all-tournament team. He played club soccer for Arsenal FC, who he led to three consecutive USYSA National Championships. He was a three-time (2004–06) State ODP Champion with Cal South, scoring the game-winning goal to give Cal-South a National Championship in 2005. A Surf Cup, NHB, League Cup and Back-to-Back Premier League Champion, Paul earned NSCAA/Adidas Boys Youth All-American honors as well in 2006.

Entering UCB, Paul was selected by College Soccer News to the "100 Freshmen From Coast To Coast To Keep An Eye On". The 2010 Bears set the school's single-season assist record of 49 thanks in large part to Paul, an NSCAA All American as well as All-Pac-10/NSCAA Regional First-Team selection. The Upland, California forward concluded his senior season as Cal's all time single-season assist record holder with 14. Paul ranks fourth on Cal's career assist list with 21 and scored 30 points (13th nationally) in his final season, tying Carr for sixth place on the school's single-season points list. Paul led the Bears with career highs in goals (8), assists, points and game-winning goals (5) in 2010. During the regular season, he led the Pac-10 in points (27), goals (8) assists (13) and gamewinners (4). Along with many other accolades, he claimed two Pac-10 Player of the Week honors as well.[1]

During his college years Paul also played with one season with the Los Angeles Legends in the USL Premier Development League, scoring 10 goals and notching 5 assists in 12 games.[2]
