Abstract

The teaching and learning of English phraseology have long been recognized as an essential component of language acquisition. To enhance students' language proficiency and cultural understanding, educators are increasingly incorporating the linguocultural approach in their teaching methodologies. This article explores the significance of the linguocultural approach in teaching body part idioms to students and the vital role of English movies which are one of the parts of English culture to explain the idioms easily. The research proved that there are both differences and similarities between the English and Uzbek body part idioms. The analyzed units have one common feature: the functions of the somatic constituents of idioms are very important, since in the majority of cases, they constitute the semantic cores of given idioms which reveal the meaning of the whole unit. The results of the new method and the usage of the program “Quizziz” as a system of exercise are also the aims the article is dedicated to externalizing.
