Abstract

The article discusses the role of playful and creative approaches in teaching phraseological units in foreign language classrooms. These methods enhance learners’ motivation, comprehension, and retention by engaging both cognitive and emotional aspects of learning. The integration of games, creative tasks, and contextualized practice allows students to understand not only the linguistic but also the cultural significance of idioms and set expressions.
