The second edition of this textbook provides a practical and research-based foundation for teaching second language (L2) multiword expressions and phrases (also commonly called collocations). Multiword expressions - such as strong tea, beautiful weather, or would you mind - cannot be readily understood or predicted by the meanings of their component parts and prove particularly challenging for English language learners. With contributions from top scholars, this text presents a thorough and rounded overview of the principles and practices currently dominant in teaching L2 phrases in a variety of instructional settings around the world. The book has been updated to include new chapters on the implementation of AI and ChatGPT tools, as well as on the uses of corpus analyses findings in the classroom.

New to the second edition:

  • Updated material to include more recent publications, research findings, citations, and references
  • Simplified linguistic descriptions and terminology
  • Teaching activities, tips, and suggested techniques
  • Student exercises and assignments

Intended for students and teacher educators, this accessible book integrates the key principles, strategies, and applications of current and effective English language instruction for both vocabulary and grammar.
