The purpose of this research was to use a lexical approach, and information and
communication technologies (ICT) as strategies to facilitate learning to students of Spanish as a
foreign language, to answer the research questions: (1) if the use of multiword lexical units
improves the lexical competence and (2) whether the use of technology is an effective strategy to
facilitate learning. A lesson plan with different activities was designed and put into practice with
two groups of students (experimental and control) of the intermediate level of the University of
North Texas (UNT). The collected data were analyzed using the quantitative paradigm with the
variance model ANOVA with repeated measures, and the qualitative or interpretive paradigm to
offer a broader perspective of the learning process of multiwords lexical units (collocations and
idiomatic expressions). The results of this investigation answered the research questions and
confirmed the effectiveness of the lexical approach and ICT in the teaching-learning process and
facilitated the student's acquisition of L2.
