At the Windsor school, English language training for adults goes by a unique technique called Lexical Approach. This is a truly revolutionary way! You no longer have to cram the construction schemes and words and sentences and deal with translating the text one word at a time. We suggest that you understand the logic of constructing entire phrases and typical sentences in the process of live communication on topics of interest to you, leading your colloquial English to perfection. Just like the children learn their native language.
Why do even the twins in the junior classes know that "happy birthday" is a happy birthday, and not "with day of your birth," how could it be in a direct translation from Russian into English? Because no one will ever come to translate this phrase one word at a time. Yes, and why translate, when there is a clear certainty that it is necessary to pronounce in this situation.
Lexical Approach is based on the idea of the English linguist Michael Lewis. He found out that the basis for the formation of speech are lexical units - phrases, expressions, speech phrases, word-combinations, from which we add sentences, we build dialogues. Depending on the situation and the intended style of communication, we choose a different vocabulary. English for adults (like any other language, however) is a set of templates that are firmly digested and pop up automatically.
