The students were asked to consult the web-based concordance during the ten weeks of web-based concordance intervention. Firstly, students’ performance differences in phrasal verbs comprehension were examined between their pre-and post-tests.

Thirdly, the students’ experiences using web-based concordance on phrasal verbs acquisition and writing were explored. Twelve focal students from three different English levels: upper-intermediate, intermediate and lower-intermediate were selected as focal students. Pre-test and post-test tests show that approximately 92% of students showed an increase in their scores.
