Teaching idioms in English as a second language : an analysis of issues and solutions
2021, Blinova, O. (2021) Teaching idioms in English as a second language : an analysis of issues and solutions. INTED2021 Proceedings, pp. 324-328.
Idioms are said to mirror the culture of the language. As it happens with most culturally-determined language aspects, idioms pose great difficulties for learners (Prodromou 2003; Tran, 2012; Vasiljevic, 2011), to the point where some teachers avoid dealing with idioms in the classroom altogether (Tran, 2012). Prodromou (2003) speaks of an "idiomatic paradox", where native speakers rely on idioms in spoken discourse, while even advanced learners struggle, finding them elusive. However, many scholars insist on teaching idioms in an EFL classroom. Celce-Murcia (2008) proposes a communicative competence model, where one of the competences (figurative) rests on the ability to use idioms. CEFR includes idiomatic expressions in its band descriptions (Council of Europe 2012). All this makes a case for including idioms in academic syllabi. The paper explores the reasons why idioms present immense difficulties for learners. I start by reviewing existing scholarly approaches to definitions and taxonomy of idiomatic expressions and proceed to identifying the common issues that EFL learners face. I then outline suggestions to deal with those issues. The latter are based on successful case studies from teaching idioms in EFL classroom to L1 Russian and Turkish speakers.

In EFL context, there is a considerable shift from single word lexical items to phraseology. Idioms constitute a core part in the phraseology block of the language. Idioms, in spite of their variety and cultural roots, are one of the most neglected areas in EFL perspective. Non-native learners of English as a foreign language do not feel motivated to use idiomatic resources of the language creatively. It is also a fact that pedagogy of idioms to EFL learners has been a challenging task for non-native teachers of the English language. The undertaken research is an effort to establish the utility of the entomological background of idioms in EFL class.

Understanding and translating phraseological units from one language to another is one of the key issues in linguistics, which in turn presents a topic of concern in both translation studies and second language teaching. Idioms, as complex figurative components of a language, pose a challenge when introduced to second language learners. Created as combined research in the domains of applied cognitive linguistics and phraseology, this paper aims to shed a light on the metaphorical aspect of idioms as important cultural elements, taking as an example idioms with the component “heart”, as well as to point to the innovative possibilities of teaching these expressions in second language acquisition.

The noteworthiness of integrating the teaching of idioms and other fixed expressions through communicative approach has appeared as imperative in the context of scientific fact with an axiomatic value that the main aim of learning a foreign language consists in the formation of communicative competence – the learners’ aptness to understand and produce language in order to communicate successfully. The paper at hand discusses the linguistic and pedagogic implications of teaching idioms and other fixed expressions through communicative approach. Research has revealed that the misuse of idioms and other fixed expressions is the cause of the errors committed in the production of language. What’s more, the errors at the level of idioms and other fixed expressions are universally recognized as the most appropriate indicator of distinguishing amongst natives from the non-native speakers even if the later have a high level of communicative competence in English.
Teaching Idioms in Language Classrooms - Like the Icing on the Cake
Helena Winnberg
This thesis investigates what types of teaching approaches and methods can be used when teaching idiomatic expressions to learners of English. The method used is a small-scale research synthesis where studies are summarized, compared and discussed. An overview of the teaching approaches and methods provide an outline of the strengths and weaknesses of each approach/method in connection to the purpose of teaching idioms to language learners of English. Several different descriptions of idioms are merged into one that is used in this research synthesis. The results indicate that even though teaching procedures appealing to Multiple Intelligences are most common in the articles used for this thesis, there are several different ways to improve learners’ idiom comprehension. Every teacher should have in mind that all students are unique and learn in different ways but some generalizations can be helpful when planning lessons. Keywords: idioms, figurative language, teaching method, teaching approac

The field of idiomaticity is considered by many researchers as an important area, especially when it comes to L2 and/ or EFL learners. Mastering idioms and the ability to use them in the written and the spoken discourse is considered as a sign towards proficiency. However, it is noticed clearly that there is not much research done in this respect. Lazar (1996) states that figurative language is an area often neglected in the teaching of vocabulary. In this respect, this study was conducted to investigate the difficulties faced by 40 Libyan students in understanding idiomatic expressions. Additionally, it was to shed light on some strategies employed by those students to ease their way in understanding and using idiomatic expressions. The paper aims to investigate problems and difficulties encountered by the Libyan students and strategies used to overcome these problems and difficulties. Keywords: idiomatic expressions, idiomaticity, literal and figurative meaning, Idiom processing strategies

Proficiency in figurative language is a challenging aspect of second language acquisition. An essential component of figurative fluency and proficiency is knowledge of idioms. Mastery of these formulaic sequences has been considered as an important indicator of communicative competence, enabling speakers to use the language both fluently and idiomatically. However, learning such essentially perplexing constructs poses a lot of challenges to EFL students, and thus they need to get immersed in language skills provided by teachers. The purpose of language acquisition is to achieve effective communication. Being communicatively competent helps language learners to avoid any kind of breakdown of communication, and therefore reaching fluency is the main goal of EFL learners. Thus, this quantitative study is an attempt to explore the influence of idioms acquisition on enhancing English students' fluency. The study has been carried out with twenty lecturers where a five-point Likert-sca...
