EFL/ESL learners are advised to learn idioms as they are an essential part of the English language and are commonly used in daily conversations. Idioms can be difficult to understand for non-native speakers because they often have a figurative meaning, which is different from their literal meaning. However, learning idioms can help students understand native speakers well and communicate more effectively in English.
Idioms can also make one's speech more authentic, interesting and engaging. Moreover, pedagogically-sound English language teaching entails teaching vocabulary as single words, chunks, and blocks.
In the present post, EFL Collective shares with you a worksheet and PPT you can use to teach 8 interesting common idioms to your elementary/pre-intermediate learners.
