collocations within proficiency groups.  For Group 1, Types 23. SV(O) Adverbial, 
and 13. SV Inf were translated significantly more accurately than the other 
types of collocation.  For Group 2, only Type 11. SV(O) Prep O was translated 
significantly more accurately than the other types.  For Group 3, Types 13. SV 
Inf, 14. SVV-ing, and 1. Noun Prep were translated significantly more accurately 
than the other types.  These results suggest that for each group certain 
collocation types are easier to translate than others.
