The Role of Collocations in English Language Teaching

Abstract

This research explores the pivotal role of collocations in English language teaching and their impact on learners' linguistic proficiency. Collocations are essential for achieving fluency and accuracy in both spoken and written communication. The study examines various teaching methods and strategies, including contextual learning, interactive activities, and the use of corpora, to enhance learners' understanding and application of collocations. Findings suggest that systematic teaching of collocations improves learners' grammatical competence, intercultural communication skills, and overall fluency. The study underscores the importance of integrating collocations into language instruction to support learners in achieving effective communication in academic, professional, and everyday contexts.
