  1. TEACHING COLLOCATION • SKILLS: HOW & WHICH

  2. HOW? • Teaching individual collocations ( activities & exercises). • Making students aware of collocations. Noticing. • Extending what students already know( de-lexicalised words). • Storing collocations: organised lexical notebook

  3. WHICH? • Unique collocations( foot the bill, shrug your shoulders) • Strong collocations ( ulterior motives, rancid butter, trenchant criticism, to be moved to tears) • Weak collocations ( white wine, red hair, a black mood, a blue movie) • Medium-strength collocations ( to hold a conversation, to make a mistake, to be recovering from a major operation)

  4. Pedagogical implications • Review the language content of the course (consider frequency, type and level of the course) • Increase language input (quantity, type, quality) • Review teaching strategies at different levels • Translation shouldn`t be discarded • What our language model should be?

  5. LANGUAGE... • is proven to be a mixture of the totally novel, the absolutely fixed,the relatively fixed, and all held together with fairly simple structures which we call grammar.

  6. . LESS GRAMMAR, MORE LEXIS!
