The Effect of Exposure on EFL Learners' Acquisition of Idioms with Reference to Proficiency Levels.
Atai, Mahmood Reza; Akbarian, Ishaq
Indian Journal of Applied Linguistics, v29 n1 p21-34 Jan-Jun 2003
Investigated the probable effect of different contexts on learning idioms, as well as the interaction between learning idioms in different contexts and English-as-a-Foreign-Language (EFL) learners' language proficiency. Findings revealed that different contexts and proficiency levels had significant effects on EFL learners' acquisition of idioms; the interaction between context and subjects' proficiency level was not significant.
