About this course
Collocations — the word pairs and phrases native speakers reach for automatically, like "make a decision" instead of "do a decision" — are a direct way to strengthen your CELPIP Vocabulary score, one of the four criteria raters use for Writing and Speaking. This kit collects the collocations that show up again and again in CELPIP writing and speaking responses.
Rather than one long vocabulary list, the kit has 17 topic pages built around the situations CELPIP actually tests: work and study, health, money, technology, relationships, travel, opinions, problem-solving, and more. Each topic page gives you verb + noun and adjective + noun collocations, phrasal verbs and worked examples with example sentences you can adapt for a writing or speaking response. Two further pages hold the formal phrases for CELPIP Writing and the natural spoken phrases for CELPIP Speaking, so the vocabulary attaches to real use rather than sitting as a flashcard you'll forget by test day.
Work through the pages in order for full topic coverage, or jump to the topic closest to a task you're currently struggling with — both paths are designed to work. The goal throughout is depth over breadth: fewer collocations used correctly and naturally will help your Vocabulary score more than a long list you only half-remember.
Want the highlights on one page first? The CELPIP vocabulary list gathers about 100 key collocations from every topic.
