大多数英语教师强调词汇量而忽视词汇深度，从而忽视了词汇搭配等词汇关系。因此，本研究旨在沿着测试词汇知识的定量和定性方面的一致性，探讨词汇搭配能力与总体语言水平之间的关系。为此，通过量身定制的托福考试，从伊朗两所大学挑选了30名高年级英语学生。他们接受了词汇（n + v）搭配的MC测试。结果表明，托福成绩与词汇搭配成绩、词汇搭配成绩之间存在一定的相关性。因此，搭配能力与总体水平密切相关，学习者的定性知识伴随着定量知识，这意味着搭配必须在适当的时候通过直接教学或提高意识的技巧得到适当的关注。
Most EFL teachers emphasize vocabulary size at the expense of vocabulary depth, thus neglecting lexical relations such as collocation, etc. Therefore, the current research intends to study the relationship between collocational competence and general language proficiency along with testing the go-togetherness of quantitative and qualitative aspects of lexical knowledge. To that end, 30 senior EFL students were selected from two Iranian universities through a tailored TOEFL test. They received an MC test of lexical (n + v) collocations. The results showed a relationship between the scores on TOEFL and the collocation test, and between the scores on the collocation test and the vocabulary section of the TOEFL. Therefore, collocational competence is much related to general proficiency and that the learners’ qualitative knowledge accompanies their quantitative knowledge, implying that collocation must be attended to properly at the right time through direct teaching or consciousness-raising techniques.
