Detail Assessing the Indonesian EFL students production of English collocations in speaking   Oleh:  TANIHARDJO, JONATHAN Jenis: Article from Proceeding Dalam koleksi: KOLITA 16: Konferensi Linguistik Tahunan Atma Jaya Keenam Belas Tingkat Internasional, page 244-248. Topik: lexical collocations; L1 influence Fulltext: 244-248 Jonathan Tanihardjo.pdf (362.16KB) Isi artikel Collocations, as a part of vocabulary, are chunks that are of import for both learners and teachers in the process of language learning (Thornbury, 2002). According to Hanks (1987), words appear together to form collocational patterns. However, nonnative speakers often combine words in a nonnative-like manner, making the combinations sound strange to native speakers. The respondents in this study are 23 students of the English Language and Culture Department (BBI) from semester 3 at Bunda Mulia University. In this study, the data were taken from their speaking. The students were given a topic taken from TOEFL, and given a chance to voice their opinion in 2 (two) minutes. In this research, the writer would like to find out the answers to problems formulated: (1) what errors of lexical collocations, particularly “verb + noun” appear in speaking? and (2) how does the L1 influence the production of the English lexical collocations? The result shows the misapplications of the collocations were resulted from several factors: (1) unawareness of the different use of similar words, (2) the different use between the real use and that in the English dictionary, (3) the lack of knowledge of English collocations, (4) the lack of English vocabulary, (5) many combinations of acceptable Indonesian collocations but unacceptable in the English ones.
