The Challenge Learners who attend a foreign language course aim to learn the lexis and grammar of that language and develop their basic language skills. Does this mean that idioms which are among the essential elements of any language are taught at a satisfactory level to learners?

This article presents the results of a study that developed activities to teach idioms that contained orientation metaphors and incorporated them into a language program
