  Article:   LEARNING IDIOMS.

Authors:  ANCA LUMINIŢA GREERE, MIHAI MIRCEA ZDRENGHEA.
 
       
         
  Abstract:  Idioms are not just “ornaments” or “strange ways of speaking”. We need them to express ourselves as creative and imaginative human beings. Idiomatic language has been totally neglected in former textbooks; nowadays they appear randomly and not necessarily related to a particular area, and very often only in the form of phrasal verbs. Therefore, it depends on the teacher’s innovative and intuitive spirit to introduce idiom teaching as basic “bits and pieces” into the communicative repertoires of the learners. We intend to offer here a few suggestions on how to tackle this problem.
