Mr. Martin asked the neighbors, the Smiths, to check the mailbox every day and take out any letters or advertisements. After lunch, Mrs. Martin took all the extra food out of the
refrigerator; she gave some to the Smiths, and she threw away the rest. Paul Martin put several cans of dog food in a bag, and he took his big dog Roxy over to his friend’s house. Mary and Susie Martin cleaned the whole house. They swept and washed the floors in all of the rooms, dusted the furniture, and cleaned the bathroom.

The Efficacy and Advantages of Learning Formulaic Sequences
Why is learning “collocations” so important to you?
1. --I usually go to school with my feet. Vs. I usually go to school on foot. (我通常 走路上學)
“Well, it’s not wrong. But there is just nobody would say that……”
Collocations make you express your ideas more native-likely and successfully.
Collocations(搭配字詞)讓你用更道地的語言表達你的想法,也更成功地與人溝通.
2. -- 請試著用英文說”你好嗎?”, “我愛你”和”我可以去洗手間嗎?”
Language is composed of chunks. Don’t try to over-analyze the language and break it into so many individual words, or then you will find it even harder to reassemble the parts into a comprehendible whole. Learning and also using the language in chunks can help your language become more fluent and accurate.
語言是由好幾個區塊所組成的, 不要試著去”過度分析”它, 把它拆成一個個獨立 而破碎的單字, 那只會使得妳發現: 要把這些破碎的元素重新組裝成一個有意義.
看得懂的句子變的更是難上加難了. 如果你可以利用”區塊”的方式來學習和使 用英文, 那麼你將有機會可以說的更流利.用的更正確喔!
3. – What do you think of ? (你認為……怎樣?) 試試看用英文說出下面的句子:
你認為Neomi怎樣? 你認為GEPT(全民英檢) 怎樣? 你認為5566怎樣? 你認為英文課怎樣?...
Besides the fixed phrases or sentences, there are still lots of relatively fixed
prefabricated expressions that are easy for English users to borrow to generate. The generative power of the prefabricated expressions makes an English speaker speak both with conventions which leads to fluency, and with creativity which leads to personalized uses of the language.
更重要的是, 英文還有”衍生”和”創意”兩項特質, 也就是說, 你可以藉助一些比
4. -- 下面的這些搭配用語有哪些是你認識或是有印象的呢?
make friends ( ), make money ( ), make a film ( ),
make coffee ( ), make a face ( ), make my dream come true ( ) In real life, native speakers function perfectly well using a limited vocabulary with which they are collocationally competent. On the other hand, an English learner who is equipped with a vocabulary of 2,000 words and six collocations with each, know 12,000 expressions! By using these collocations one can think more quickly and communicate more efficiently.
很多人學了很久的文法.背了很多的文法規則, 卻還是對英文沒輒. 你知道嗎?
其實英美人士在真正英語的時候, 他們的句子裡大部分都是一些基礎的字彙, 然 後再搭配上適當的搭配字詞就可以變化出許許多多不同意義的話語了. 現在我 們以一個學英文的台灣學生來說, 如果他具備 2,000 個基礎單字, 每一個單字都 又具有 6 個不同的搭配字詞, 2,000*6, 天啊,太驚人了! 一下子他的字彙量從 2,000 爆增為 12,000 個耶. 有了這些實用的搭配字詞, 當他想要表達自己的時候, 他不但可以縮短思考的時間, 還能夠讓他的溝通更有效率.
4. --根據你對中文的了解, 你覺得下面哪一個是表達”買到物美價廉的東西”的適 當用法呢?
(a) 走算, (b) 跑算, (c) 游算, (d)划算 --又根據你對英文的認識, 你覺得下面哪一個才是表達”犯錯”的適當用法呢?
(a) make a mistake, (b) do a mistake
For the native speaker, knowledge of acceptable and unacceptable collocations is largely instinctive. However, when one is learning a second language, he/she has to learn them one by one—they are not predictable (Journal of Reading). ESL students need additional, explicit awareness raiser and instruction in collocations. Learning collocations enable the learner to use them to their advantage in building their mental lexicons in a systematic way (Conzett, in Lewis, 2000).
真討厭啦! 搭配字詞的選擇不論是在中文或是在英文中, 都是難以預測, 而且 是”沒有什麼道理”的, 他們都只是一些習慣性的用法. 像是對以中文為母語的我 們來說, 要回答本題的第一個小問題, 幾乎是我們的直覺反應, 但是換到第二個 英文的小問題時, 以英文為外語的我們而言, 可就要傷腦筋了. 所以當我們在學 習像英文這樣的外語時, 關於搭配字詞這方面一些明確的教學就是必要的囉!

A Sample Lesson of Formulaic Sequences Instruction in the Present Study
The following lesson was based on “Lesson 3: Making Appointments” in the Far East English Reader for Vocational High Schools Book 4. One of the learning
objectives of the sample lesson was to learn the commonly used expressions for making appointments and the proper ways to express one’s politeness and manners.
Step 1. General discussion about the topic
In order to arouse the learners’ background knowledge, a general discussion about the text topic was firstly held. The whole class discussion was run as if we had been in a real situation of making appointments. At the beginning of the lesson we looked at the illustration on the front page of the sample lesson in the textbook, and then the participants’ were asked to make predictions of the main ideas and content of the lesson. By means of the whole class discussion, the term appointment book and related phrases such as to make an appointment with someone, to have an
appointment with someone, and to meet someone by appointment were introduced, and we illustrated the expressions with the schedule marked in the textbook. Later, the participants did the brainstorming about what kinds of appointments they would probably make in their real life. Learners were then encouraged to think of other related expressions like to make a dental appointment, to have a dental appointment, and to meet the dentist by appointment.
In the same vein, the learners were then given the phrase to make a reservation,
to book a single/double room (in a hotel), to book a table, to book a table for four people, to book a table for four people for tomorrow night (in a restaurant), to book a ticket (in a theater), etc..
Afterwards, we talked about the channels to make appointments/reservations: by telephone, on/over the phone, by e-mail, by Net, in person, and so on. The instructor reminded the participants that when they had an appointment, they had to check their schedule, to make sure the other person was available, to make sure the time/the day/the place/the topic, and most important of all, to make sure there was no misunderstanding. When the appointment was approaching, they needed to either keep the appointment, to delay the appointment, to cancel the appointment, or to break the appointment.
Through the class discussion over the topic of the lesson, the participants were acquainted with a large proportion of the target formulaic sequences.
Step 2. Vocabulary section in the textbook
We handled the textbook vocabulary one-by-one. For a start, we taught the pronunciation of a vocabulary item by segmenting the word into syllables. We also introduced the affixes or suffixes if needed. The instructor demonstrated how to do the chunking with the examples in the textbook, and she either explained the sentence meaning chunk by chunk by herself or invited some student to do the chunking and explanation. Finally, we referred to the dictionary entry as supplementation for formulaic usages of the target words. We often gave the learners a simple translation task, which required them to look for more information in the dictionary entry. Each
ap point ment (noun)
-- I have an appointment with the dentist at 3 o’clock.
Æinvite a learner to explain the sentence meaning
-- We were surprised that he was appointed as manager.
to look up the phrase in the dictionary entry Æthe instructor explained the sentence meaning
Step 3. Open-book quizzes
To highlight the target chunks from the enormous sum of the prefabricated chunks that we taught in a single class, we made use of an open-book quiz in the end
9 This is the first time I m a my client E . 今天是我第一次用英文和客戶訂約會
9 M b couples may lead to divorce.
夫妻間的誤會可能會導致離婚
…...
Step 4. Assignment: the lexical notebook
The participants were required to keep the lexical notebook for the taught vocabulary items (see 3.5.2.9).
Step 5. The reading text of the lesson
One paragraph of the reading text was written on the blackboard. The teacher randomly picked some students to come to the front. Each of them underlined on the blackboard one of the prefabricated chunks they had found in their textbook. After that, the instructor and the whole class examined the appropriateness of the underlined chunks and discussed the meaning of each. The teacher pointed out the rest of the chunks that were worth noticing but were missed. Thereupon, we read the paragraph again and figured out its meaning together. The next paragraph followed the same procedure.
According to Zhan (2004), inductive learning can help learners improve in their collocational ability. We selected clear and simple corpus examples from the British National Corpus to illustrate some formulaic patterns appearing in the reading text. In the above text, the usage of the prefabricated chunk “be similar to NOUN” was the
1. In 1939 fashions were similar to the 1960s vogue.
2. His description is similar to the man who attacked the student…
3. The crop mark was similar to a large square.
4. One of the reasons for its greater size is similar to the justification of the computerization of the databases
5. He says that they heard a noise (which was) similar to an axe being dragged across the floor.
6. There also happens to be a young TV filmmaker (who was) similar to the one played by Cleavon Little in Yates's picture.
7. He is also keen to set up a body (which is) similar to the US Office of Technology Assessment.
8. …try to make this figure (which is) physically similar to yourself.
Step 6. Dialogue writing
Dialogue writing was chosen as a review assignment in the end of the lesson because in the sample text there were four dialogues related to making appointments in different situations, and in each paragraph there were an abundance of formulaic sequences used. We set three contexts and left one free option for the participants to choose and to write a dialogue in pairs.
Context 1: Jane makes an appointment with her teacher for Monday morning to discuss her new project.
Context 2: Bill calls his doctor’s office to change his appointment from 11:00 tomorrow to 3:00 tomorrow afternoon.
Context 3: Mr. Evans reads an ad in the newspaper about an apartment on Park Street that is for rent. He calls the owner of the apartment to make an appointment to see it on Friday afternoon.
Dialogue writing sample (from the participants):
Making Appointments: Context 4:
(On the phone)
Mary: Hello, Andy. This is Mary.
Andy: Hi. I haven’t seen you for a long time.
Mary: Yes. Are you available tomorrow?
Andy: What’s up?
Mary: I’m wondering if I could make an appointment with you. I’d like to discuss about my English paper with you.
Andy: I’m very sorry to say that I will have another important meeting tomorrow.
Mary: O.K.
Andy: I’m sorry. I hope that it will not inconvenience you.
Mary: It’s all right. Maybe next time. See you.
Andy: See you.
