HOW TO TEACH COLLOCATIONS?
Teachers should pay more attention to the collocations when they teach how to make translation between two languages. They should make their students be aware of these special combinations. Learners should be aware of that in order to make correct translation they have to know collocations in the target language. In the first level, students should be taught free collocations. When they become more advanced they should learn restricted collocations. And when they are proficient they should know idioms. Of course using collocations in appropriate context and register should be taught to the learners. On the other hand, learners should take notes or keep journals about collocations. During lessons, teachers should integrate collocations into four skills: reading, listening, speaking and writing. It is important for teacher to teach the most frequently used collocation list.
Teaching collocations may be difficult for the language learners. I agree that teachers should integrate collocations into four skills. It is important for the instructors. Thanks a lot your shadings. I liked your blog and collocation words.
