- Abstract
This paper examined the impact of explicit teaching of idioms to undergraduate learners to enhance their idiomatic knowledge. It was an experimental study and subjects of the study were undergraduate second year students (n=60). Idioms were taught explicitly in context using proper teaching material. Learners were motivated in the present study to learn idioms. Teaching activities and techniques were used to develop learners' idiomatic knowledge. Pre and post tests were conducted to evaluate the impact of teaching intervention. The research data was test scores (pre- and post-test) and the data was analysed using quantitative method (paired T-test). The experimental study results suggest that explicit teaching of idioms to undergraduate learners can improve their knowledge and use of idioms.
