Learner fluency, therefore, is not dependent on knowing every minute detail of grammar, but rather on having rapid access to these banks. Principles of The Lexical Approach include: the grammar, vocabulary dichotomy is invalid; collocation is used as an organising principle; successful language is a wider concept than accurate language; the Observe-Hypothesize-Experiment cycle replaces the Present-Practise-Produce paradigm; and, most importantly, language consists of grammatacalised lexis, not lexicalised grammar.
