Course objectives
The course is designed to further develop the language skills of students who have passed the bachelor's examination in PE. There are thousands of collocations in English. The best way to study collocations is in phrases or sentences showing how they are used. Grouping together collocations relating to the same topic or the same word and recording illustrative sentences extracted from various corpora and Internet resources in personal databases will help students fix the collocations in their memories and revise them effectively.
