Experienced teachers Hugh Dellar and Andrew Walkley have put together an online learning and teacher-training platform: Language Learning and Teacher Development | Lexical Lab
As this intro video says, it "looks at everyday English and common words, chunks, idioms, phrasal verbs, phrases and expressions used in spoken English".
Yes, it's using the lexical approach to learning a language!
There are very positive opinions about the site and service: Lexicallab Reviews | Read Customer Service Reviews of lexicallab.com.
They've got a blog.
And they've got a mailing list.
Looking at more about Lexical Lab, we learn that:
We have written one five-level General English coursebook series: Innovations, which was nominated for ESU award and two ELTons, and one six-level series, Outcomes, which is now in its third edition and has received widespread acclaim.
As trainers and methodologists, we have been strongly influenced by lexical views of language and by practice derived from lexical approaches to language. This led us to write a methodology book, Teaching Lexically, part of Delta Publishing’s multi-award-winning teacher development series.
To finish, here's the Hugh Dellar Interview - Teaching Lexically, Lexical Approach LEGEND! - YouTube
