EXPLICIT TEACHING OF COLLOCATIONS AS THE WAY TO FLUENCY AND NATURALNESS IN ELT

Abstract

Current English language methodology does not result in fluency and naturalness of language production, as supporters of lexically oriented approaches to teaching tend to claim. These approaches turn away from the traditional division into grammar and vocabulary and focus on collocations - typical word combinations.

In this paper, an experimental teaching will be introduced, which seeks answers to questions about what types of students will benefit from it the most. The design of the study including a test battery, which tests learning styles and strategies, foreign language aptitude and personal traits, will be presented.

Also, lesson plans for experimental and control group will be demonstrated.
