\u00a4 \u00a0\u00a0Mark\u00e9ta Gu\u0148kov\u00e1: \u00a0\u00a0Why teach delexical verbs?<\/h5>\n

(1) frequency: Delexical verbs are common structure in English, either in\u00a0everyday conversations (have a drink, give a call, take a break) or in academic\u00a0English (make a contribution, give a speech, do research).<\/p>\n

(2) fluency: delexical structures contribute to the impression of fluency in English\u00a0given by non-native speakers (Sinclair, 1990).<\/p>\n

Hill (2000, p.54) explains that\u00a0native speakers are fluent and able to speak relatively fast: \u201cbecause they are\u00a0calling on a vast repertoire of ready-made language in their mental lexicons.\u201d\u00a0(p.54) And the same holds for listening and reading comprehension where\u00a0prefabcs save processing time.<\/p>\n

(3) collocational competence: Thus the ability to store and retrieve the chunks\u00a0of language may be defined in terms of collocational competence. Hill (1994,\u00a0p.4) is an advocate of this particular competence and see the main learning\u00a0load for language users are thousands of medium-strong collocations which\u00a0constitute the most part of what we say. He observes that intermediate\u00a0students know a lot of isolated words, but are not able to recognize them as\u00a0chunks (e.g. hold a conversation) and hence their collocational competence is\u00a0low. They fail to recognize these chunks of language.<\/p>\n

(4) insufficient input in ELT materials: It is again Jimmie Hill (1999, p.5) who\u00a0pointed out that indeed, there is huge amount of published material aimed at\u00a0teaching fluency, however, it mainly deals with getting students talking\u00a0without providing authentic material and especially chunks for students to\u00a0draw on.<\/p>\n

(5) L2 learner avoid them: Thus the last reason why it is worth teaching and\u00a0dealing with that is was proved by many studies that L2 learner avoid at all,\u00a0underuse or misuse (Howard, 1996) delexical structures, and rely on clumsier\u00a0single words. Having examined learners\u201f essays, Juknevi\u010dien\u00e9 (2008, p.123)\u00a0claims that native speaker students produce twice as many collocation with\u00a0delexical verbs as the non-native learners. And Altenberg and Granger (2001)\u00a0claims that result show that \u201cEFL learners, even at an advanced proficiency\u00a0level, have great difficulty with high-frequency verb such as MAKE.\u201d (p.189).\u00a0And when students avoid them, they run the risk of sounding stilted, for\u00a0example: I would like to bathe. (instead of take a bath)\u201d (Lock, 2005,p. 81)<\/p>\n
