| AbstractAn idiom refers to an expression whose meaning cannot be deduced in relation to the combination of its units. The aim of the present study is to develop an account about the difficulty the English as a foreign language(EFL) learners encounter in interpreting and comprehending English idiomatic expressions, the ratio of correctness and mistakes they commit, the difference according to the type of the college whether colleges of Arts or Education, ,and the effect of the kind of idioms on their interpretation .It is argued that there will be some difference between the learners of colleges of Arts and of Education in interpreting idioms in favor of the former ,since their study is much more concerned with literary subjects which are full of idiomatic expressions, in addition there is little focus on Arabic subjects. The study is grounded into two main sections . The first ,is a literature review of idioms tackling some definitions of the idiom, its main characteristics, types , fields and its relation to some other concepts like lexemes and collocations .The second , is the practical representation of this study Finally, the study concludes with some findings and suggestions . | ||
