The Productive Knowledge Of Adjective-Noun Collocations By Moroccan EFL Students From Seven Universities
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Research & Method in Education (IOSRJRME) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 5
Abstract
This study aims at investigating the productive knowledge of “adjective-noun” collocations by Moroccan EFL students from seven universities in Morocco. To this end, a productive collocation test addressing 25 adjective-noun collocations administered to four hundred and sixty four BA students. This test is meant to measure these students’ productive collocational competence. These participants were required to fill in the blanks with the most appropriate adjectives. Results revealed that these Moroccan students have considerable problems in this aspect of language. They used erroneous combinations yielding weird phrases such as: *make homework, *do decision …etc. The use of such inappropriate collocations leads to communication breakdown.
