Incorporating the Lexical Approach into the Task-based Approach

The current paper aims at incorporating the Lexical Approach into the Task-Based Approach in order to formulate a Lexico-Task-Based method to be used in Iraqi EFL Classrooms. Comparative analysis of the theoretical and practical principles of the two approaches is conducted. After pointing out common principles and features, the possibility of incorporating the lexical Approach into the Task-Based-Approach is attempted. Lexical classrooms activates are reformed and shaped as tasks in terms of task designing criteria suggested by the Task-Based-approach. Finally, a general sample plan according to the Lexico-Task-Based method is presented.
