Collocations are particularly useful in academic English, and indeed when students are taught abut the topic, their interest levels are generally high. At least, this is what the research indicates.

NoteIt is important to distinguish academic or political collocations from idioms. Idioms (such as up to the minute or figure something out) tend to be more informal, and therefore are not much used in academic English. Phrasal verbs may also be categorized as collocations, but these are generally considered too informal for academic or political writing as well.
