Treatment and Teaching of Collocation

Learning vocabulary is the most important prerequisite for learning any foreign language because one cannot communicate precisely without words. But unfortunately many students are still asked to learn word lists with explanations in English or even equivalents in their native language. In this research, emphasis is to be laid on treatment and the relevant teaching techniques of collocation by investigating the notion of collocation and providing a brief conceptual framework.that deals with the issue in a practical and interesting way. The paper may have some useful implications for specialists in technical translation in the sense that it helps them to translate language as chunks rather than single words. Conclusions and recommendations concerning the notion of collocation and the appropriate method of its treatment have a place at the end of this research.
