PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS AND THEIR IMPORTANCE IN LANGUAGE LEARNING
Phraseological units, such as idioms and fixed expressions, convey meanings that differ from their literal interpretations. These units are common in all languages and are essential for effective communication. This article explores the nature, types, and significance of phraseological units in language learning. It discusses how these units enhance fluency, comprehension, cultural understanding, expressive power, and memory retention. The study outlines methods for mastering phraseological units, including contextual learning, thematic grouping, and interaction with native speakers. Despite challenges like non-literal meanings and cultural specificity, effective teaching methods and supportive learning environments can aid in acquiring these units.
