Abstract	Collocational knowledge is associated with writing and speaking skills. Productive skills are essential for English for Academic Purposes (EAP) students who express themselves in oral presentations or written assignments. Therefore, diagnostic measurement of collocational knowledge is important, especially in regard to the most frequent 1,000 word families that cover 81% and 85% of written and spoken text. This study measured 46 Iranian university EAP students' productive collocational knowledge of the words at the 1,000 word frequency level. The findings indicate that while participants had the productive form-meaning knowledge of the words, they did not seem to have extensive collocational knowledge of the same words. This assists in diagnosing area of weakness and the degree to which instructional emphasis on high frequency words might improve their knowledge. (Verlag).
