Fun Learning in ESL Classrooms

An idiom is an expression with a figurative meaning that differs from the literal meaning. We hear idioms every day – both in conversation and in the media. Used correctly, idioms can amplify messages in a way that draws readers in and helps to awaken their senses. An idiom is a phrase or expression whose meaning can't be understood from the ordinary meanings of the words in it. For example, “Get off my back!” is an idiom meaning “Stop bothering me!” The idiom “You hit the nail on the head” means “You're exactly right.” Here are some other idioms you might use in your writing.

Assalamualaikum madam.. i really enjoyed the learning process of this activity.. it does not only boost our creativity but it helps us learn new idioms too..there were a few idioms that i have never heard of before like 'When chicken have teeth'. In my opinion, when learning about idioms, it doesn't only help us in making our essays better, but it helps us think critically, like.. how can this idiom makes sense with its meaning.. and how does someone even create such idioms that sometimes have very deep and meaningful meanings.. All in all, this activity really benefits everyone. Thank you madam!
