Ready To Teach Idioms?
4 Tips to Teach Idioms:
1- Amount :Not too many at once
- Idioms are complex and difficult not only to understand but also to explain so consider introducing only a small number, maybe 3-5 at a time. This approach will give you enough time to cover them thoroughly and allow students sufficient practice time without overwhelming them.
2- Themes : Related to Your Topic
- You can includes idioms in your normal lessons by introducing them thematically. If they are related to the topic you are studying , students will have an easier time remembering them and will be familiar with the vocabulary you are using. Example: when talking about pet, we can introduce idioms such as "fish out of water"
3-Comprehension : Make Sure They Understand The Individual Words First
- Students have to know or understand the individual words before understanding the idiom itself. you could say for instance "work like an ant" means work very hard.
4- Practice - Ask and Answer
-Students need to practice not just using idioms in sentences but also responding to their use and understanding their meaning. For instance students may be able to create a lot of sentences using the phrase "morning, noon night" by saying "I study morning, noon and night" and simply changing the verb to make more sentences.
