Authentic language use: Lexogoth gives learners access to real French sentences taken from films, media, forums, and conversations. These examples are carefully filtered and annotated for educational use. No artificial textbook sentences, but language as it is truly used.
Awareness of register: Students learn to handle French appropriately in different contexts (formal, informal, familiar, colloquial, etc.).
Differentiation: With its large number of examples, the Lexogoth corpus suits both strong and weaker learners.
Flexible for any theme: Whether you’re working on health, relationships, media, politics, or social media, you’ll find all the necessary (lexical) materials in Lexogoth.
Efficient vocabulary acquisition: Students learn chunks and collocations in context, leading to faster and more natural language use (see the chapter on methodology for more details).
Time-saving for teachers: No more hours spent searching for useful example sentences or appropriate expressions—you’ll find more than enough in Lexogoth.
Active processing with the Toolbox: Teachers can easily extract specific corpus data to create personalized study paths, interactive tests, or printable handouts. This turns the classroom into a dynamic lab where students don't just observe the language but actively work with it to build their own lexical databases.
Preparing speaking or writing tasks
When preparing a speaking or writing assignment on a specific topic, you can run targeted searches using keywords related to your theme. The returned example sentences help you structure your ideas and build your text. These results provide both linguistic and content-based support: linguistically, they show how key words can be used in context; thematically, the sentences broaden your lexical field.
For instance, if you’re working on “réchauffement climatique” (climate change), searching terms like “réchauffement (climatique)”, “pollution”, “température”, “santé”, or “problème” will already give you a solid foundation.
Studying vocabulary
Lexogoth is also ideal for studying vocabulary. When learning difficult words—such as linking words or verbs—you can look up real example sentences to understand how they’re actually used. This method leads to a much deeper understanding of the language.
Daily reading and vocabulary expansion
The program is also intended as a reading and learning tool. Learners who want to expand their French over time can set aside a few minutes each day to explore new words. Since many words recur across contexts, learners gradually internalize them through repeated exposure. This not only improves fluency but also increases expressive ability.
Revising A–B level topics
You can review important A and B level topics independently using the clear, structured grammar, vocabulary, and language function lessons included in the program.
Verb conjugation module
Lexogoth includes a built-in conjugation tool that covers most French verbs. When in doubt, you can instantly check verb forms with a single click.
Active practice with the Lexical Toolbox: You can use the integrated Lexical Toolbox to take control of your learning process. This tool allows you to collect relevant examples and save them into your own personal study databases. Once you have built a collection, you can generate interactive tests to challenge yourself. This transforms passive reading into active retrieval practice, ensuring that the vocabulary you've found actually sticks and becomes part of your active French repertoire.
Explaining lexical problems
Lexogoth is a helpful tool in class for explaining vocabulary challenges. For example, the difference between “prêter” and “emprunter” becomes immediately clear through the program’s many example sentences. It’s also useful for illustrating complex constructions or word meanings.
Lesson and assessment preparation
The example sentences in Lexogoth can support lesson planning and test creation. Teachers can, for instance, prepare lists of key terms and relevant examples to guide students during speaking or writing exercises—like the earlier example with “réchauffement climatique”.
Quick classroom reference
Lexogoth can be used as a fast and practical reference tool in class—for looking up synonyms, idiomatic usage, examples, meanings, translations, or language register issues on the spot.
Remediation support
Teachers can also use Lexogoth to design remediation paths for students who are falling behind. The program includes the most important grammar, vocabulary, and language functions for level A of the CEFR. If a student is struggling with a particular topic, the teacher can direct them to the relevant sections for review and practice.
Creating custom study paths with the Lexical Toolbox Teachers can use the Lexical Toolbox to move beyond the standard curriculum and create highly personalized learning materials. By filtering the 40,000+ entries, you can quickly compile specific datasets for a particular lesson or student group. These can then be converted into interactive tests or exported as structured lists. This feature is particularly powerful for differentiation, allowing you to provide high-achievers with complex nuances while offering more supportive, foundational material to students who need extra reinforcement.
