%0 Journal Article %T AN ANALYSIS OF THE USE OF COLLOCATION BY INTERMEDIATE EFL COLLEGE STUDENTS IN TAIWAN %A CHIA-LIN KUO %J Annual Review of Education, Communication and Language Sciences %D 2009 %I Newcastle University %X It may seem easy for advanced learners to use collocation properly. This is not the case for students who are at the intermediate level. At this learning stage, students struggle to use words correctly. This study looks at students usage of collocation qualitatively and quantitatively, hoping to give suggestions to teachers to help students work on certain errors. 98 writing samples under two topics written by 49 students were collected. Error analysis is adopted in this work to provide a measure of students learning. %K error analysis %K collocation %K EFL writing %K college %K class intervention %K intermediate %U http://research.ncl.ac.uk/ARECLS/vol6_documents/kuo_vol6.pdf
