Idioms Explained


Idioms are phrases where the words together have a different
meaning from the dictionary definitions of the individual words. This can make idioms hard for ESL students to understand. However many idioms are quite poetic and visually descriptive and can often be explained and fun and interesting ways. It is also important to note that idioms and idiomatic expressions are not unique to the English language and it is often the case that other languages have similar or equivalent phrases or expressions. This can provide the opportunity for students to give their own input to the class.
