Each school was monitored and visited throughout the growth process by an expert. To assess the approach's effectiveness, a pre-test was administered as an entry test and a post-test as an exit test to a sample of 276 students. The results indicated that before implementing the Lexical Approach, the English area's learning level was medium, but after implementing it, it increased to a high level, with a percentage of 60.14% of pupils.
