This article explores the theoretical and pedagogical significance of phraseology in English language teaching. Phraseological units—idioms, collocations, and set expressions—reflect cultural values, social norms, and historical knowledge. Their mastery enhances learners’ linguistic fluency and cultural competence. The article examines the semantic structure of phraseological units, classification of components, and effective teaching strategies. Emphasizing the interconnection between language and culture, it advocates for an integrated approach to phraseology instruction that combines semantic analysis, contextualization, and comparative methods. Phraseological competence is presented as essential for meaningful communication in English as a foreign language.
