摘要：AbstractCorpus use is one of the promising areas that can act as a reference tool to EFL learners for language problems especially vocabulary. The present study is on concordancing as a tool in learning collocations and it attempted to find the answers to two questions. One on the potential benefits of corpora and concordancing in learning collocations and the other on the type of the collocational combinations searched more by the students. To find the answer to the research questions, the students were taught how to use corpora independently in the hope of becoming autonomous users in future. The results of the study indicated an overall satisfaction with the use of the concordancers in learning collocations among which verb + noun collocations were searched more frequently as they were more problematic for EFL learners. In line with the results of the study some of the implications of using concordancing in learning and teaching are presented at the end of the paper.
