Perspectives
Idioms are no doubt difficult to learn, especially for non-native speakers and requires a degree of understanding of the English language to be able to pick up on it quickly. Therefore, I think it is important to know that when teachers, especially rural ELS teachers, teach idioms to students, that the methods used are effective and suitable for the children. A good understanding of what is taught is necessary for students to be able to use what they learn later on. This article has been able to identify the result of each method and hopefully, this will better the teaching of idioms to students.
