Notes pour l’enseignant

Utilisez ce test à la fin d'une séquence sur les collocations ou comme test diagnostique pour des apprenants avancés. Les distracteurs reprennent des erreurs typiques d'apprenants, comme 'do progress', 'hard competition', 'search advice' ou 'powerful rain', souvent dues à une traduction littérale. En prolongement, demandez aux élèves de noter chaque collocation correcte dans un carnet avec une phrase d'exemple, ou de réécrire le texte de la partie 3 en remplaçant les collocations par d'autres de même sens.
