The paper socializes an approach for the teaching of English lexicogrammar as a system for meaning construction through form choices constrained by language context. The context-form-meaning (CFM) approach, as it has been called, is founded on systemic functional linguistics and Levelt’s theory and research on psycholinguistics as well features of good pedagogical grammar. The CFM-approach is described in reference to what to do during the presentation, practice and application phases of the L2 lesson; examples are of typical exercises accompany the description. Finally, an assessment of its feasibility and effectiveness in language outcomes is also given.
