Also, collocations play significant role in second language learning, especially at the intermediate and advanced levels. The present study intended to investigate Ike influence of knowledge of collocation on writing ability of advanced EFL learners.

The participants' productive collocational knowledge was measured by free-writing tests: three topics were given to them to choose one of topics and write a composition.
