The present study makes investigations into Thanh Hoa high school teachers’ perceptions of collocation and collocation teaching. The teachers’ understandings about collocation were examined through the way they perceived its definition, its categorizations, and how it differs from other word combinations. Regarding the perceptions of collocation teaching, the rank of collocation among aspects of a vocabulary item, the impacts of collocation on language acquisition and the effective methods of teaching collocations were explored through the lens of the teachers. The study employed a case study approach to provide an in-depth analysis of teachers’ perceptions of collocation and collocation teaching. Data sources included survey questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. As the main source of information, data from the questionnaire were analyzed statistically, while data from the interviews were integrated accordingly to give insights into the matters of research.
