摘要

It is widely acknowledged that collocation is an indispensable aspect of language learning, and it is accepted that language is acquired faster and more efficiently when learned in set phrases and chunks in EFL classes （Ellis 2001, Nation 2001, Lewis 2000, Pawley and Syder 1983, Brown 1974）. Hence, teaching English collocations to EFL learners and raising their awareness will enhance their English language collocational competence in listening, speaking, reading as well as writing.
