- Metrics
Teaching Idioms – Why, How and to Whom? aims at taking a closer look at the problem of understanding what idioms are and how important they can be – if that should be the case – in acquiring a more native-like language competence. The main purpose of this paper is to offer teachers a new perspective on idioms, making suggestions on how to teach them and to whom (especially in as far as the age of the learners in concerned), based on a teaching experience that stretches over more than two decades.
