About the book

Why do questions about idioms often leave us "tongue-tied"? This book takes a look at learning and teaching idioms from two perspectives. First is a survey of recent work on learning and teaching idioms from diverse perspectives in the linguistics and educational research literature. Second is a summary and critique of idiom textbooks and classroom practices from around the world.
