A Survey Of Efl Students' Knowledge Of Lexical Collocation Verb And Noun Combination
Résumé: The present study aims to investigate EFL students' knowledge of lexical collocations (verb and noun) combination. For this purpose, 30 second year master students ofenglish at Larbi Ben M'Hidi uiniversity in Oum-El-Bouaghi, have taken part in this study. Thus, we hypothesize that EFL students do not have a good knowledge of lexical collocations. In order to prove our hypothesis, a discourse completion task (multiple-choice test) has been administered to examine students' use of collocations. This test consists of 20 sentences; each sentence has four options, and students are asked to select the correct verb to co-occur with the noun in the sentence. The main interest of the analysis is to identify, describe and analyze the correct and incorrect collocational use of lexical collocations (verb + noun) combination. Moreover, the source of collocational errors is analyzed and discussed depending on Liu analysis of collocations errors in EFL writings. The results of the test have shown that students have knowledge of lexical collocations (verb + noun) combination. On the basis of these findings our hypothesis is rejected.
