Using the Macmillan Collocations Dictionary in IELTSSam McCarterThe Macmillan Collocations Dictionary (MCD) is a valuable resource for anyone using English in anacademic or professional context. It shows how the most frequent words in English typically combinewith each other, and with other words, to form natural-sounding chunks of language – and this is whatmakes it an especially useful tool for people taking the IELTS exams.There is an important distinction to be made between IELTS (the International English LanguageTesting System) and other exams. The purpose of IELTS is not to to test students’ knowledge of theEnglish language, but to assess their competence in using it. Students are not awarded a pass or fail, buttheir scores are reported on a scale ranging from 1 (‘Non-User’) to 9 (‘Expert User’).The word User is critical. Rather than testing students’ knowledge of grammar or of specific vocabularyitems, IELTS evaluates their ability to use the English language in the completion of tasks (within fairlytight time limits) in the four main skills of Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. This focus ontesting competence rather than knowledge has implications for students and teachers alike, especiallywith regard to learning vocabulary.Let us take, for example, a student who is about to take IELTS, and who has a reasonably largevocabulary, say of around 7,500 words. A vocabulary of this size is a desirable asset for anyone aiming toachieve a score of 6.5–7 in the academic version of IELTS. But learning words from vocabulary lists is notenough. If our imaginary student has no awareness of how words work naturally together, s/he will beat a disadvantage compared to someone who may have a smaller vocabulary (say 5,000 words), but who isable to use those words effectively by combining them in natural-sounding collocations.What this illustrates is the importance of learning to use vocabulary, at speed, across tasks within thefour main skills. This will improve fluency, clarity of expression, and naturalness – and hencecompetence in general.The need for such flexibility in manipulating words to create the kinds of combination that a fluentspeaker would produce naturally is what makes the Macmillan Collocations Dictionary an idealcompanion for students as they prepare for the IELTS exam.How producing natural collocations can help IELTS studentsThere are two aspects of vocabulary that illustrate the relevance of collocation and the value of adictionary like the MCD: the relationship between frequency and ‘coverage’: research shows that the most commonEnglish words make up a high percentage of everything we read or write. The most frequently usedwords (the top 2,500) account for almost 80% of all text, while the 7,500 most common words make upover 90%. The relationship between frequency and collocation: the more frequent a word is, the morelikely it is to enter into ‘partnerships’ with other words, forming combinations which convey a sense ofnaturalness and style.This has implications for processing information in the four main skills tested in IELTS.
Processing information: ListeningIn the IELTS Listening Module, students have to be able to process information at natural speed whichthey hear only once.Grammar and listening skills apart, such processing for students aiming for ScoreBand 7 requires an ability to identify facts and ideas, to see the relationships between them, and torecognise paraphrases and summaries. From the IELTS student’s point of view, the skill of predictingrelationships between words in collocations or identifying the paraphrase of one collocation toanother at speed is very useful.At a fairly simple level, this can be illustrated by the alternatives students might have to choose fromin a multiple-choice question. As students have to process what they hear while listening, quick understanding of the audio and the questions is essential. Look at the second entry for the word basic in MCD:2 of products or services, needed by everyone ADJ n necessities Their parents have to work from morning till night to provide the basic necessities.essentials foodstuffs sanitation amenities needsA question in the Listening Module might look something like this:Their parents have to work from morning till night to provide theA basic necessitiesB school feesC expensive clothesIn the listening module, the speaker might say something like: . supply the children with accommodation,food and clothing. Knowing that the word basic is frequently combined with necessities to mean thingslike accommodation, food and clothing makes it easier to process information while listening. If studentshave to think about the meaning of the two words combined, it will slow them down. Furthermore asthe vocabulary used in the audio, and in the questions, is likely to be drawn from the most common2,500 to 7,500 words (either as single items or in combination), then it makes sense to include work oncollocation and on possible paraphrases as part of a course.Processing information: ReadingThe reading passages in the academic version of IELTS are long – around 800 words each and up to2,700 words for the three passages – and students have to answer 40 questions about the passages inone hour. The skills needed for negotiating a text include skimming, scanning, rapid recognition of texttype and organization, and the ability to process grammar at speed. But a flexible use of vocabularycan further enhance competence in reading. A good starting point is to acquire a thorough workingknowledge of the most frequent English words and – critically – to learn the various ways in which theytypically combine to form natural-sounding and predictable collocations.Reading and processing speeds can be surely enhanced by a detailed understanding of the ways inwhich words fit together. If we take another entry from the MCD, for the word significant, a knowledgeof collocation can help students predict as they read. In a text about the important consequences of apolicy or decision, for example, the use of the adjective significant will ‘prime’ readers to expect nounssuch as impact or effect to follow:. have a significant impact on the economy of the region.And collocation manipulation will also help the student to see that the phrase ‘. benefit that partof the country considerably’ in a reading passage is being paraphrased by the phrase above in a TrueFalse Not Given statement or multiple-choice question. As the MCD shows, other words with which
significant regularly combines, to express the idea of an important result or effect of something, includeimplications, consequence, influence, and benefit. These provide yet another rich source of language tomanipulate for paraphrasing and summarizing.The ability to understand and use collocations helps students to increase their speed in processinginformation as they predict the text that is to cover the blank pages to come.Building fluency and sounding unnatural: Writing Task 2In Task 2 of the academic version of IELTS, students are required to write a minimum of 250 words. Astudent with a good grasp of collocation has a distinct advantage, as we can see by looking at the entry forsignificant in the MCD. It shows the nouns and adverbs that most frequently combine with significant toexpress a wide range of ideas. If you want to say something is ‘very significant’, there is a choice of typicaladverbs. Or again, there are sets of nouns for conveying ideas like ‘a significant achievement’, ‘a significantproblem or challenge’, or – as discussed already – ‘a significant effect or result’. Here we look at the set ofnouns frequently used to express the idea of ‘a significant event or change’:change, development, improvement, move, trend, decision, action, initiative:The most significant recent development has been the introduction of an integrated fares and ticketingstructure.Let’s say a student makes a spelling or a grammatical mistake in the sentence (for example, writing Themost significent recent development or Most significant recent development): despite these mistakes, themessage is clear, But look at the difference if the student uses words of similar meaning but in unnaturalcombinations, and writes:The most key recent act has been the initiative of an integrated fares and ticketing arrangementThough the sentence is not ‘incorrect’, its intended meaning is much less clear, because inappropiatewords have been chosen, resulting in untypical collocations. If this is then repeated with the sameconsistency throughout an essay, with or without grammar or spelling mistakes, it becomes moredifficult for the reader (the Examiner), to recover the meaning. Texts like this give the impression thewriter lacks fluency and is operating with a limited working vocabulary.Yet, with even quite small changes,the meaning would become more transparent and the text as a whole would feel more natural.Building fluency and sounding unnatural: Speaking Parts 2 and 3The need for fluency becomes even more critical in the Speaking module of IELTS. In Part 2 students areexpected to talk about a particular topic: for example, Describe a recent development in your life that youfelt was important. A good way of demonstrating a wide vocabulary is to employ natural collocationswhich paraphrase what the Examiner says rather than just repeating the exact words, for example: I’mgoing to talk about a recent change in my life that was very significant. If students are hesitant as theypick their way through the words that they know or simply repeat the words of the Examiner, this willaffect their score band for vocabulary and fluency. Part 3 covers many abstract topics similar to thosecovered in Task 2 of the Writing module. Here students are asked to talk about subjects such as thedevelopment of technology and its effects in the workplace or on domestic life. Again the student whois able, with minimum hesitation, to choose words that fit together to make natural collocations ismore likely to achieve a higher score band.The Macmillan Collocations Dictionary is a useful companion for anyone working in an academic or professional context or taking exams such as FCE, CAE Proficiency, ILEC and ICFE. For IELTS, it is an especiallyvaluable resource which seems tailor-made to meet the needs of students preparing for this exam.
