| 520 | |a This research sought to examine advanced and intermediate ESL learners' knowledge of English collocations in terms of four dimensions: lexical, grammatical, receptive and productive. A total of 100 undergraduate students were selected from Kulliyyah of Islamic Revealed Knowledge and Human Sciences, International Islamic University Malaysia for the study. The participants were 50 intermediate-level and 50 advanced-level L1-Malay, ESL learners, all of whom were in the final year of their studies. For data collection, one instrument, a test on English grammar consisting of two types of questions (multiple-choice and blank-filling), was developed. Each type of questions was then divided into two subtypes labelled by part one and part two for multiple-choice questions whereas part three and part four for blank-filling questions consisting of 50 questions each totalling 100 items in all. The questions were different in each part: part one was 'choose the right word', part two was 'choose the best word', part three was 'fill in the gap' and part four was 'make a collocation'. The questions were adopted from David Porter's Vocabulary Workbook: Check Your Vocabulary for Academic English, published in 2007. An additional part about participants' opinions on first language influence on collocation production was also included to see whether they were influenced by their L1 or not. This research would assert that advanced-level ESL learners performed better in the test. Research question 1 asked whether there was a significant difference in the collocational competence of intermediate and advanced ESL learners. The results showed that there was a significant difference in the collocational competence of the two groups where advanced ESL learners performed better than intermediate ESL learners. Research question 2, asked how the productive and receptive knowledge of collocation demonstrated by intermediate ESL learners was similar or different from that by advanced ESL learners. The results showed that there was no significant difference for receptive knowledge although advanced ESL learners performed better than intermediate ESL learners. As for productive knowledge, the results showed that there was a significant difference in the collocational competence of the two groups where advanced ESL learners performed better than intermediate ESL learners. Research question 3 asked how the lexical and grammatical collocational knowledge demonstrated by intermediate ESL learners was similar or different from that by advanced ESL learners. The results showed that there was no significant difference for lexical collocations although advanced ESL learners performed better than intermediate ESL learners. As for grammatical collocations, the results showed that there was a significant difference in the collocational competence of the two groups where advanced ESL learners performed better than intermediate ESL learners. Some further differences and similarities were discussed. As for L1's influence, the findings indicated that it was very much influenced the ESL learners in answering these questions. These results demonstrate advanced-level ESL learners have higher collocational competence than intermediate-level ESL learners in all four dimensions mentioned above. | ||
