Abstract

That Lewis draws our attention to holistic ways of seeing vocabulary in chunks

implies that not only in teaching reading, writing or listening but also in teaching speaking,

we should pay special care to the production of such whole chunks, which, in turn, lead

us and our students to observe appropriate pausing times in intra sentential positions.
