Abstract EN
This study tries to make a comparative study between English and Arabic languages in terms of collocations.
also, the present study attempts to assess Palestinian students' comprehension and use of collocations.
to this end, the theoretical part of this study presents a discussion of lexical collocations in Arabic and English.
moreover, the practical part is aimed to statistically measure the Palestinian EFL learners' ability to use English lexical collocations accurately.
the participants were 35 third year students from Islamic University of Gaza.
Semi-structured interviews a paper-and pencil test were used to collect data.
The results show a low level of performance on the Palestinian EFL learners' part.
