摘要：
This study aimed to raise EFL learners' awareness of collocations via COCA. Three learners participated in this experimental study. They were college students aged from 21 to 25. Four instruments and several exercises were employed in this study. The instruments included a standardized test, a questionnaire, two surveys, and a corpus called Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA). Exercises involve translations and collocational grids. Through one-month experiment, learners' awareness of collocations was raised. Although learners' awareness of collocations was raised, their application of collocational knowledge to real-life settings was still far from satisfaction. It is suggested that attention should be paid to the advancement of collocational knowledge, if learners intend to convey their messages in English clearly and economically.
