Section outline

    • Welcome to another exciting language journey! In this lesson, we’ll dive into the colorful and expressive world of idioms—phrases that say one thing but often mean something entirely different. 

      Have you ever heard someone say “it’s raining cats and dogs” or “break a leg”? These phrases may sound strange at first, but they add flavor and depth to our everyday conversations. By the end of this lesson, you’ll be able to confidently identify, understand, and use idiomatic expressions like a native speaker.

    • By the end of the lesson, the student should be able to: 

      ​1. Identify idiomatic expressions used in sentences and give their meanings.

      2.  Use idiomatic expressions correctly in different contexts.

    • This pre-quiz is designed to assess your basic understanding of idioms before we dive into the full lesson. You’ll be asked to identify the correct definition of an idiom from multiple-choice options. This short activity will help activate your prior knowledge and prepare you for a deeper exploration of idiomatic expressions.

    • This activity tests your ability to correctly interpret common idiomatic expressions. Each question presents an idiom followed by four possible meanings. Your task is to select the most appropriate meaning. Understanding these idioms will improve your fluency and ability to comprehend everyday English conversation.

    • This practice activity allows you to match common idiomatic expressions with their correct meanings. Understanding how idioms function within everyday language helps you speak and write more fluently and naturally. Match each expression from Column A with its correct meaning from Column B by selecting the most appropriate answer.

    • This self-assessment is designed to help you reflect on your understanding and application of idiomatic expressions. You'll evaluate how confidently you can identify idioms and use them in context. Select the option that best represents your current ability. If you choose “With difficulty” or “Unable to perform task,” you are encouraged to review the lesson with your facilitator for better understanding.
