When discussing new topics, it is important to introduce all related words at the same time so that students can learn everything they need before being asked to talk about the topic. This is especially true with beginners when you are introducing lots of topic related vocabulary. As students improve, they will begin to encounter collocations so you will have to devote an increasing amount of time to collocations as students become more fluent.

They can range from basic such as fast food to quite complex and will go a long way towards making students sound more like native speakers if they use the phrases correctly.
