Abstract

The lexical approach to second language teaching has become popular as an alternative to the grammar-based and the communicative approaches. The lexical approach concentrates on developing learner proficiency with lexis, or words or word combinations. It is based on the idea that an important part of language acquisition is the ability to comprehend and produce lexical phrases as unanalyzed wholes or ‘chunks’, and that these chunks become the raw data by which learners perceive patterns of language traditionally thought of as grammar (Lewis1993:95).Media discourse is rapidly growing field stressing the need for using the English language as a lingua franca for higher news visibility. Effective oral and written expression is a must for both the professionals in this field and for the growing number of students who build their career in the media industry. Teaching lexical patterns I media discourse confronts teachers with issues of conflicting truths in the stages of material development, teaching and testing, as the translation and formulation of native –language sequences raises issues of conflicting truths in the teaching of media lexical patterns at Macedonian universities and points aspects that should be considered I the training of aware ad (self)-critical foreign-language journalists.
