Abstract: Based on the data from the two corpora，an EFL learner essay corpus and a native English speaker corpus，this paper aims to study words chunk of the highfreq adjective other and its teaching，focusing on the differences between EFL learners and native speakers in using the chunks with the highfrequency adjective other as the core，especially the differences between the colligations and collocations of the chunks，and the causes of the differences so as to shed some light on foreign language teaching and learning.

Key words: corpus linguistics, vocabulary teaching, word chunk teaching, colligation, collocation
