Why Should We Learn Collocations?
Reason 1: Helps Language Production
Knowing the meaning of single words – comprehension
Knowing word combinations
–production/use
![Page 6: Lecture 2: Understanding Why We Need to Learn Collocations Online Lecture Series on Collocation Learning Developed by Yang Ying 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649c575503460f948fe516/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

You can say “perform an analysis” or “carry
out an analysis”!

Why Should We Learn Collocations?
Reason 2: Be native-like
Word grammar—some combinations are allowed in your
native tongue, but not in the target language
![Page 10: Lecture 2: Understanding Why We Need to Learn Collocations Online Lecture Series on Collocation Learning Developed by Yang Ying 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649c575503460f948fe516/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Examples
What would you say?
A strong engine or a powerful engine?
Business journey or business trip?
![Page 11: Lecture 2: Understanding Why We Need to Learn Collocations Online Lecture Series on Collocation Learning Developed by Yang Ying 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649c575503460f948fe516/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Why Should We Learn Collocations? Reason 3: Express your ideas
better Giving you more power to
express your ideas
![Page 12: Lecture 2: Understanding Why We Need to Learn Collocations Online Lecture Series on Collocation Learning Developed by Yang Ying 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649c575503460f948fe516/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Contrast the following
1. This is a good book and contains a lot of interesting details.
2. This is a fascinating book and contains a wealth of historical detail.
You communicate much more with the right combination of words !
![Page 13: Lecture 2: Understanding Why We Need to Learn Collocations Online Lecture Series on Collocation Learning Developed by Yang Ying 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649c575503460f948fe516/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Why Should We Learn Collocations? Reason 4: Helping you to enhance writing
sophistication and avoid simple, flat style of writing. E.g. overuse of general words only.
![Page 14: Lecture 2: Understanding Why We Need to Learn Collocations Online Lecture Series on Collocation Learning Developed by Yang Ying 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649c575503460f948fe516/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Example
a good analysis? – too general – in what way is it good?
How about?
a detailed analysisa thorough analysis an in-depth analysis
![Page 15: Lecture 2: Understanding Why We Need to Learn Collocations Online Lecture Series on Collocation Learning Developed by Yang Ying 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649c575503460f948fe516/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Reason 5: Further Language Development
Bothered about slow progress in language development at this stage? Not knowing what to learn after all grammar topics have been learned?
Learning collocations helps you take off again!!!
![Page 16: Lecture 2: Understanding Why We Need to Learn Collocations Online Lecture Series on Collocation Learning Developed by Yang Ying 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649c575503460f948fe516/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Words from Experts
For intermediate level language learners, when they have learned the grammatical structures of the language and are able to produce such structures correctly, the only viable way for them to improve further and to reach the advanced level of language proficiency is to learn more collocations rather than doing grammar only (Morgan Lewis, 2001).
![Page 17: Lecture 2: Understanding Why We Need to Learn Collocations Online Lecture Series on Collocation Learning Developed by Yang Ying 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062320/56649c575503460f948fe516/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Do you know?
Uneducated native speakers of English may only have a
vocabulary size of 2000 words, but can function well in their
daily communication. That’s because
they are able to combine these words to make meaning
