Abstract

This article highlights the importance of collocation skills in developing English language proficiency. Collocations, which refer to natural word pairings frequently used by native speakers, play a crucial role in achieving fluency and coherence in both spoken and written English. The paper explores different types of collocations such as verb-noun, adjective-noun, and verb-preposition combinations while discussing effective teaching strategies. Emphasis is placed on contextualized learning, frequency-based instruction, and communicative practice to enhance language acquisition. Additionally, the role of metacognitive awareness, task-based learning, and technological tools in collocation instruction is examined. The article provides a comprehensive approach for language educators to improve learners' collocational competence, ensuring more natural and fluent communication.
