Abstract

Collocations are an important indicator of learners' foreign language
proficiency, but they cause many difficulties in learning and using them. This study
explores the habits of learning and using collocations in writing by surveying 95 2nd-year
students from the Faculty of English - Hue University of Foreign Languages. The findings
are that the group of students with good writing results often have effective habits of
learning and using collocations, such as proactively learning the collocations by
themselves. They eagerly search for their desired topical collocations before any writing
task and know how to select and check the naturalness of the collocations used. The study
offers some suggestions to serve as a reference basis for teaching and learning collocations.
