This article explores how cognitive approaches can enhance phraseological competence by leveraging mental processes such as
perception, memory, and problem-solving. It reviews various teaching methods, including contextual learning, explicit instruction,
interactive activities, repetition and spaced practice, visual aids and multimedia, collocation exercises, contextualized grammar
instruction, and error correction and feedback. Each method is evaluated for its effectiveness in learning, engagement, retention, and
applicability. The findings suggest that a combination of these cognitive strategies can provide a more comprehensive and effective
approach to teaching phraseology. By integrating these methods, educators can better support students in mastering phraseological units
and improving their overall language proficiency.
