Isi artikel

The importance of vocabulary acquisition has always been recognized, although at times, vocabulary was treated as separate for grammar and skills. However, the communicative and natural approach emphasized the importance of vocabulary development, which resulted in more interest in vocabulary teaching. It is accepted that choosing our words carefully in certain situations is more important than choosing grammatical structures (Harmer 1991). We cannot use structures correctly if we do not have enough vocabulary knowledge. Although many techniques and aproaches, such as word families and key words, have been employed in teaching vocabulary, I suspect that none of them has intereseted language teachers more than Michael Lewi's Lexical Approach, which argues that language consists of chunks that produce coherent texts when they are combined (Lewis 1998). This article explains what is means by collocation and why it is important and useful in english language teaching.
