This article explores the concept of collocational frameworks and their role in enhancing English fluency through strategic language pairings. Collocations, the natural associations between words, are crucial for achieving native-like language proficiency. However, mastering collocations can be challenging for language learners. Collocational frameworks offer a systematic approach to understanding and internalizing collocations by presenting them within structured patterns. By strategically pairing collocations within these frameworks, learners can develop a deeper understanding of the natural associations between words and improve their fluency in English. This article discusses the fundamentals of collocations, the principles behind collocational frameworks, and practical strategies for implementing them in language teaching contexts. Through a comprehensive examination of collocational frameworks, this article aims to provide insights into an effective tool for promoting fluency and proficiency in English language acquisition.
