description This study endeavours to explore the usefulness of web-based concordance in acquiring English phrasal verbs. The whole thesis was primarily conducted in the qualitative method but it involved a quantitative test in the first stage to get the general understanding of students’ phrasal verbs proficiency level which later followed by a qualitative approach using think-aloud protocol and thematic analysis.
