Abstract

Learning idiomatic expressions is a fundamental aspect of language acquisition, especially for non-native speakers. However, understanding and using idioms often presents challenges that can make language learning frustrating and monotonous. This article explores an innovative approach to teaching idioms by using "bubbles" in a creative, interactive format to facilitate interpersonal communication in English and other languages such as Russian and Uzbek. The approach emphasizes the importance of teacher experience, context-driven exercises, and engaging activities that cater to various language proficiency levels (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1). The paper discusses the impact of well-structured worksheets, the use of comics and cartoons, and the division of learning into age-appropriate stages, all of which contribute to more effective idiom acquisition. This approach aims to remove biases and foster a deeper understanding of idiomatic expressions within cross-cultural contexts.
