Abstract

There are a great number of English idioms in College English teaching. An English idiom can be viewed as a chunk with a fixed meaning instead of a simple combination of literal meanings of several single words. It is not easy for Chinese students to learn English idioms. For Chinese college students, English idiom chunks acquisition can be influenced by four factors. In order to teach English idiom chunks more effectively, College English teachers can adopt five good teaching methods: the thematic approach, the situational approach, the source method, the English-Chinese contrast method and the paraphrasing method.
