Lexis (Ghana Only)
Muhtasari
Lexis plays a crucial role in language as it encompasses the vocabulary and words used in everyday communication. Understanding the importance of lexis in language is essential for effective communication and language comprehension. In this course material, we will delve into the significance of lexis and how it enhances our language skills.
One of the key objectives of this topic is to equip candidates with the ability to recognize and use general vocabulary associated with various fields of human activity. This includes the vocabulary related to fields such as building, finance, transportation, government, sports, and more. By expanding their vocabulary across different domains, candidates can enhance their language proficiency and express ideas more effectively.
Moreover, candidates will learn to identify idiomatic expressions and collocations in everyday language. Idioms are expressions whose meanings cannot be inferred from the individual words used. Understanding and using idiomatic expressions adds depth and nuance to one's language usage. By exploring common idioms and collocations, candidates will be able to communicate more naturally and fluently.
Another crucial aspect covered in this course material is the application of structural elements of English language. Candidates will learn about sequence of tenses, concord, correct prepositions, pronoun-antecedent agreement, and other structural elements that contribute to cohesive and coherent language use. Mastering these elements ensures clarity and precision in written and spoken communication.
Furthermore, the course material will enable candidates to comprehend and analyze figurative language usage. Figurative language adds depth and imagery to communication by using metaphors, similes, and other rhetorical devices. By analyzing figurative language, candidates can interpret nuanced meanings and appreciate the richness of language beyond literal interpretations.
