Sažetak
The importance of collocational proficiency and its various aspects has been attested in numerous recent studies. Not only does the proper usage of collocations enhance fluency and accuracy of the speaker, but the lack of awareness of collocational patterns leads to over-reliance of L1 transfer, and consequently, to awkward and unnatural-sounding word combinations. Because of this, the importance of collocational proficiency for teaching English, both in general and as a language for specific purposes, remains unquestionable. This research will be conducted among the students of the Professional Studies of Hospitality at the Karlovac University of Applied Sciences. The fluency of intercultural communication is one of the fundamental prerequisites in the field of tourism and hospitality, which underlines the importance of teaching collocational patterns to these students. The results of this research should provide useful insights for developing language skills and teaching materials in an LSP course.
