Annotation

In this study, anecdotes are suggested to assimilate idioms on the topics “Labour”, “Education”, “Good manners”, “Nurture”, “Friendship”. There were selected 90 idiomatic expressions, e.g. He that would eat the kernel must crack the nut; Jack of all trades is a master of none; Idleness rusts the mind etc. Anecdotes are read easily because they are short, simple and comical. Moreover, a humorous context doubles the vividness and expressiveness of an idiom. То elucidate the question, the authors carried out a three-stage experiment. At the ascertaining stage, MA students' input knowledge in idiomatic phrases was checked. At the formative stage, there were offered a good many tasks aimed at developing MA students' language proficiency in using idiomatic expressions through anecdotes and humoresques. At the control stage, the updated test, which included twice more idioms, assessed MA students' output knowledge in using idiomatic expressions in ESP class.
