Abstract
Mastering proper word collocation usage is crucial for enhancing writing proficiency because word combination leads to natural expression like a native speaker. This study aimed to identify and describe (1) the grammatical mis-collocations made by students in their English essay writing and (2) the students’ ways to overcome understanding issues regarding grammatical collocations. The researcher employed a qualitative approach to gather and analyze the data. The data were taken from 2nd-semester students of English Literature in UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya. Ten participants were chosen from one class as the research participants based on the criteria of low, medium, and high writing proficiency. The researcher relied on the Oxford Collocation Dictionary as the benchmark for collocation analysis techniques. The result showed grammatical mis-collocations in students’ writings, comprising 27 mis-collocations. These include Noun + Preposition, Adjective + Noun, Verb + Noun, and Preposition + Noun. The finding also reveals the seven ways to overcome understanding issues regarding grammatical collocations: learning vocabulary extensively, reading books and film subtitles, writing and speaking practice, having discussions with lecturers, learning a collocation book, underlining phrases of word combinations, and searching on the internet. In terms of practical implications, this study offers the university an additional program or strategy to enhance comprehension of grammatical collocations.
