Taking these collocations as its focus, this book provides a clear and in-depth description of the cognitive processing language learners go through when producing speech in relation to them. Using the findings of a two-year action research study into improving learners' spoken fluency, Joshua Brook Antle also explores the practical sides of collocations, explaining how the research study was constructed and conducted. Orientating the findings within the larger field of second language acquisition, especially within the L2 classroom, the practical applications of the findings are then presented through a series of pedagogical tasks all focusing on collocations and productive fluency. Providing a template for how to conduct an action research study using both qualitative and quantitative research techniques, Collocations and Action Research will appeal to researchers interested in vocabulary and spoken fluency, as well as language instructors wanting to better understand the nature of vocabulary and spoken discourse."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aCollocation (Linguistics)$xResearch 606 $aLanguage and languages$xWord frequency$xResearch 606 $aLexicology 606 $aSecond language acquisition$xResearch$xMethodology 606 $2Grammar & vocabulary 615 0$aCollocation (Linguistics)$xResearch. 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xWord frequency$xResearch. 615 0$aLexicology. 615 0$aSecond language acquisition$xResearch$xMethodology. 676 $a401/.93 700 $aAntle$b Joshua Brook$01544208 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796401503321 996 $aCollocations and action research$93798254 997 $aUNINA
