Abstract

Despite the importance of collocations in language proficiency, many students have difficulty using correct collocations. They often face problems with choosing the right words to accompany it, and the result is an incorrect expression, loss of meaning or incomprehensibility to others. This problem is especially accute for students learning English as a foreign language. The aim of the research is to identify effective methods and techniques for teaching collocations that will contribute to the shaping and developing of students' skills in using collocations.
