Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The aim of this article is to present and summarize the main research findings inthe area of learning and teaching second language (L2) collocations. Being a largepart of naturally occurring language, collocations and other types of multiwordunits (e.g., idioms, phrasal verbs, lexical bundles) have been identified as importantaspects of L2 proficiency that need to be promoted through language instruction.However, while in recent years the field of applied linguistics has witnessedan impressive rise in the number of studies exploring the process of learning andusing L2 collocations, there is still little consensus as to the most effective waysof enhancing this kind of knowledge. The aim of this article is to review the literaturein this area, highlight the main findings pertaining to teaching English as asecond (ESL) and foreign (EFL) learners, and point to future research directions.L’objectif de cet article est de présenter et résumer les résultats principaux derecherche dans le domaine de l’apprentissage et l’enseignement des expressions figéesen L2. Constituant une partie importante d’une langue naturelle, les expressionsfigées et d’autres types d’unités composées (p. ex. expressions idiomatiques,verbes à particule) sont des aspects importants de la compétence en L2 que l’enseignementde la langue doit promouvoir. Toutefois, si le nombre d’études portantsur l’apprentissage et l’emploi des expressions figées en L2 a augmenté de façonimportante dans le domaine de la linguistique appliquée récemment, un faibleconsensus existe quant aux moyens qui sont les plus efficaces pour favoriser cesconnaissances. L’objectif de cet article est d’examiner la littérature de ce domaine,souligner les résultats principaux relatifs à l’enseignement de l’anglais langueseconde et l’anglais langue étrangère, et indiquer des pistes de recherches futures.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
