Abstract

This study explores the pedagogical and cultural value of integrating proverbs into English language teaching. It argues that proverbs, as carriers of collective wisdom and cultural identity, play a vital role in developing learners’ intercultural communicative competence. Through a comparative and experimental approach, the research examines how Uzbek learners of English interpret, translate, and apply proverbs in authentic communication. The study highlights that understanding the metaphorical and cultural nuances of English proverbs enhances not only linguistic accuracy but also cross-cultural empathy and pragmatic competence.
