The objectives of the present article are fivefold: firstly,it gives a brief introduction to the lexical approach. Secondly, it describes the concept of lexis and its importance in language learning. Thirdly, it describes the significance of using news bulletins to learn lexis. Lastly, it enumerates a few lexisbased teaching tasks using news bulletins.
