<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="FR-CA"><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="FR-CA">L’épreuve d’expression orale du TEF se réalise au moyen d’une entrevue entre un candidat et un examinateur-animateur, mais le comportement de ce dernier peut représenter une menace possible à la fidélité du test. Il a
été démontré que malgré les nombreuses mesures prises afin de minimiser les variabilités dans l’évaluation, des divergences sur plusieurs aspects pouvaient être présentes chez les examinateurs. Cette étude vise à observer si l’on retrouve ces divergences chez
les examinateurs du TEF. 10 participants ont pris part à la recherche et la technique de la pensée à voix haute a été utilisée. Les résultats révèlent que des divergences sont présentes. Les examinateurs peuvent accorder une même note pour une même performance
alors que leurs interprétations peuvent différer, et inversement. Certains peuvent être influencés de façon positive en raison de leur familiarité avec l’accent des candidats. D’autres peuvent faire des inférences non pertinentes pour produire des significations
aux difficultés rencontrées par les candidats. Enfin, l’attitude de l’animateur lors de la conversation avec le candidat peut être perçue différemment et avoir une conséquence négative sur la note attribuée.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Abstract: Three decades of research on collocations: Could assessing collocations inform its teaching?<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The topic of collocations —words that typically go together such as see a movie, see a reason, see a doctor, direct equivalent, highly intelligent1— has been at the forefront of applied linguists’ research attention for about three decades
now. The importance associated with collocations and the bigger category to which they belong —lexical phrases (Henriksen, 2013; Nattinger and DeCarrico, 1992) or formulaic language (Wray, 2002)— has been extensively documented. Today, there seems to be consensus
that collocations are important (e.g., Barfield, 2009; Boers et al., 2006; Wray, 2002), but also challenging for L2 learners (e.g., Henriksen, 2013; Laufer & Waldman, 2011). And for most scholars interested in this topic, teaching collocations in L2 contexts
is a must (Barfield, 2009; Boers et al., 2006; Granger & Meunier, 2008; Lewis, 2000; Szudarski & Carter, 2016; Wray, 2002). Based on the available literature, four main axes along which collocations have been taught seem to have emerged: explicit-implicit,
psycholinguistic/cognitive, process-oriented and corpus approaches (Nizonkiza, 2017; Snoder, 2017). While no single approach seems to fully offer teachers and researchers concrete steps to take to teach collocations efficiently, assessing collocations has
positively influenced our understanding of their behaviour and could possibly be a solid foundation towards modelling their teaching. This study hypothesizes that the same way testing vocabulary size (the number of words one knows) has allowed researchers
to determine the number of words learners should be exposed to (Nation, 1983, 1990, Nation & Beglar, 2007; Schmitt et al., 2001), testing collocations could inform its teaching. This would allow us to know which collocations to teach at the different learning
stages, what Durrant and Schmitt (2010) refer to as the baseline for collocational competence. Reflecting on what it may take to establish this baseline could be an invaluable contribution to the field by not only re-examining the existing evidence, but also
building on it, hence the present study. It explores the following questions:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">1. How has the testing of collocations informed its teaching?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2. What are the strengths and limitations of the current collocation tests?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">3. What are the strengths and limitations of the current teaching approaches?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">By reflecting on the collocations tests, major approaches adopted to teach collocations and the results available, the present study will propose steps to take to advance our knowledge on the interface between testing and teaching collocations
referred to as ‘where do we go from here’.<o:p></o:p></p>
