This negligence is the underlying reason for writing the present research. Hence, the research paper aims at assessing students’ collocational competence and raising awareness of the importance of this significant dimension of vocabulary knowledge and presenting a well-rounded view of this lexical phenomenon. To this end, the paper gives a concise introduction to the topic, and offers an overview of relevant classification and definitions of collocations. This is followed by different approaches to define it and its importance for language learning. The last part presents an assessment for 3rd year LMD student’s collocational knowledge, concluded by a number of recommendations that English language instructors can implement in their classroom. Special tests were designed to assess collocational competence. The results showed that the collocational competence of third year LMD students at the department of English was generally unsatisfactory.
