Abstract

This article examines the role of English idioms in understanding and learning about culture. Idioms are not only linguistic expressions but also reflections of the historical, social, and cultural context of a language. The study analyzes how idioms convey cultural values, social norms, and worldviews, and how they can be used effectively in language teaching to enhance cross-cultural competence. The paper also discusses practical approaches for incorporating idioms into classroom activities to develop both language proficiency and cultural awareness.
