Obviously, vocabulary learning plays an essential role in language learning. It is also found that teachers in senior high schools attach great importance to this aspect and learners also spend large quantities of time and energy on it. To our great surprise, however, problems still arise when students output the language, which has drawn a good many teachers' attention.The Lexical Chunk Teaching Approach offers a new way to solve these difficult problems, leading learners to use lexical chunks efficiently in order to learn how to better produce the new language.To test the feasibility of the Lexical Chunk Teaching in senior high school English teaching, two classes are chosen as subjects. The first experiment is to certify the relationship between lexical chunk ability and pragmatic competence. Then, the lexical approach is applied to experiment class for one semester to test the efficiency of the lexical approach. As a result, the subject has an obvious advantage. The author concludes that the lexical chunk teaching is valid in English teaching and learning for the students.According to the experiment, some implications can be inferred:firstly, teaching and learning English through Lexical Chunks helps enhance teaching and learning effect; secondly, a variety of teaching techniques even typical of other approaches could be adopted for serving the Lexical Chunk teaching; thirdly, the Lexical Chunk teaching enables learners to increase the possibility of the fluency and accuracy when producing language, thus improving students'scores.
