| Abstract: |
This article reports on the results of think-aloud protocols that describe Korean college students' dictionary consultation behaviour in self-editing collocation errors. Four participants' verbal data were collected before and after the four-step instruction targeting collocation dictionary skills. The analyses of the protocol data obtained before the instruction showed that EFL learners rely heavily on checking example sentences in a bilingualised dictionary using entry words in their L1; not infrequently, they attempt to fix lexical errors based on logical reasoning or using synonyms in context, which makes collocational error correction widely inconsistent. After receiving the instruction, all participants made marked progress in improving the correction rate. More importantly, their dictionary consultation behaviour for collocation revision, or production, was found to have changed. Such results underline the pedagogical necessity of teaching collocation dictionary skills in L2 writing classes to foster collocational competence and learner autonomy. |
