An approach focused on vocabulary including collocations and chunks as main focus for syllabus design.

• A. The Lexical Approach
• B. The Listening Approach
• C. TBL
• D. Descriptive grammar

Answer: (A)

This focuses on vocabulary as the organizing principle of learning, specifically treating collocations and chunks as the main building blocks of language. The Lexical Approach argues that language is learned and used through ready-made lexical units—words that frequently occur together—so a syllabus designed around these chunks and their patterns helps learners acquire natural-sounding language more efficiently. Grammar, in this view, emerges from drilling and noticing how these chunks pattern with one another, rather than being taught as separate, discrete rules. Because the scenario explicitly centers on vocabulary, collocations, and chunks as the core design focus, it aligns best with the Lexical Approach. The other options emphasize different methods—task-oriented practice, descriptive description of language use, or other non-chunk-focused frameworks—without prioritizing lexical chunks as the core organizing principle.
