Teaching VocabularyWhat is a collocation?

It refers to the way English words are naturally associated with each other.

e.g.: blond hair; heavy rain; fast food etc.And NOT: yellow hair; strong rain; quick food .

Compounds x idioms x phrasal verbs

Some are fixed as in take a photo, where no other word than take collocates with photo with the same meaning.Some are open, where many other words collocate well with the same meaning, as in keep/stick to the rules.

Sometimes a pair of words may sound unnatural to native speakers but not totally incorrect. As in the sentence “I did many mistakes”, it will be understood but the

natural collocation in this case would be to make mistakes.

Compounds are two or more words that together form units of meanings. They can be written separately, with hyphen or as one word.

Normally if you know the meaning of the two words used in it you can guess the meaning of this compound.

e.g.: post office, narrow-minded, teapot.In the other hand, idioms are groups of words in a fixed order that does not allow to guess their meaning by knowing the meanings of individual

words.e.g.: On the double! (Hurry!)Besides being considered individual lexical items compound nouns and

phrasal verbs frequently collocate with other words.e.g.: play the stock market (compound);

come up with (phrasal verb) a suggestion.

Teaching VocabularyWhy is it important to teach collocations?

The words we chose define the people we are. You will improve your students style in writing. They will sound more natural. They can decide how they want to sound during their speech.

(precise, fluent, eloquent, exotic, etc.?) It will shorten the communication barrier. It will increase their range of English vocabulary. They will understand when a skillful writer departs from normal

patterns of collocation by not choosing an expected collocation to create an effect.

e.g.: There’s no place like Rome (allusion to there’s no place like home)

Teaching VocabularyWhen do I start?As you may have already noticed, you probably have taught collocations before. The key point is to decide if you made it part of a lesson, a unit, a class or a course or if it eventually appeared as a teaching point.

If you want your student to sound more natural, to choose the best combination of words and to understand authentic materials better, you have to start preparing your classes including collocation teaching time asps!

The challenge is to think about interesting ways to teach focusing in collocation. Choosing appropriate activities suitable to different levels, teaching topics and skills.
