บทคัดย่อ
This cross-sectional research investigated 314 Thai high school learners’ receptive and productive knowledge of English collocations. Two different tests of receptive and productive knowledge of English collocations and the quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Moreover, the relationship between receptive and productive knowledge of English collocations was assessed using a correlational analysis. The results indicated that the collocational knowledge of Thai EFL high school participants was relatively low. Notably, the participants showed better performance on the receptive English collocational test than the productive test. The correlational analysis showed that receptive and productive knowledge of English collocations was related. This study provides insights into vocabulary acquisition and the development of receptive and productive knowledge. Future studies may consider using a longitudinal research design to provide more information on the developmental continuum on English collocation knowledge.
