Phraseological units, which include idiomatic expressions, collocations, and fixed phrases, play
a crucial role in the process of language learning. They are essential for achieving fluency and native-
like proficiency in a language, as they contribute to the development of communicative competence.
This article will discuss the importance of phraseological units in language learning, exploring their
role in enhancing fluency, facilitating language acquisition, and overcoming challenges faced by
learners and teachers.
Learning English is widespread in our country. At the present stage of society's development,
the strategic goal of teaching foreign languages is the formation and development of the learner's
linguistic personality, that is, the main task of a foreign language teacher is to teach students to
communicate in a foreign language. However, we cannot achieve this goal without turning to the
study of the features of the studied language, one of which is phraseological units. In any language,
there are expressions in which the individual words forming this expression lose their original
meaning. The general meaning of such an expression does not consist of the meanings of individual
words.
A representative of the French school of linguistics S. Balli formulated the concept of
Phraseological units for the first time. He called the Phraseological Units as ‘combinations that have
firmly entered to the language’ [3;380].
Phraseological units, also known as collocations or idiomatic expressions, are groups of words
that are frequently used together and carry a specific meaning. They can include idioms, phrasal
verbs, fixed expressions, and proverbs. These units are integral to the English language, as they often
cannot be broken down into their individual meanings without losing the intended message. By
incorporating phraseological units into language learning, educators can help students develop a more
comprehensive understanding of the language and improve their overall communication skills. Every
culture, literate person, a student who wants to be fluent in the language, should use regular
expressions in the tongue [1;24]
By taking into consideration the degree of idiomaticity phraseological units are classified into
three groups such as phraseological fusions, phraseological unities and phraseological collocations.
[2;125]
The Importance of Phraseological Units in Language Learning:
1. Enhances fluency: One of the key benefits of incorporating phraseological units into language
learning is the improvement of fluency. By teaching and using such units, learners can quickly acquire
the necessary vocabulary and grammar structures required for effective communication. This enables
them to express themselves more naturally and efficiently, reducing the cognitive load associated
with formulating sentences from scratch. Familiarity with phraseological units allows learners to
express themselves more fluently and accurately, as they can use these expressions in their speaking
and writing without having to construct them from scratch [4;121].
2. Improves understanding: By learning and understanding phraseological units, students can
better comprehend spoken and written English, as these units are frequently used in natural
conversations and texts.
3. Develops cultural awareness: Phraseological units often carry cultural connotations, which
can help learners gain insights into English-speaking cultures and improve their intercultural
communication skills. Reading foreign literature enriches students’ vocabulary, expands knowledge
of phraseological units and set expressions. The use of foreign literature would increase the efficiency
126
of work, make lessons unusual and memorable. In other words, the use of foreign fiction within the
framework of home reading can become one of such methods [4;26- 33].
4. Facilitates vocabulary acquisition: Learning phraseological units can contribute to a more
extensive vocabulary, as these units often include specific words or phrases that may not be readily
apparent to non-native speakers. Phraseological units also facilitate language acquisition by providing
learners with ready-made language chunks that can be easily incorporated into their own speech. This
reduces the time and effort required to learn individual words and grammar rules, allowing learners
to focus on other aspects of language learning, such as pronunciation and discourse.
5. Developing Communicative Competence: The use of phraseological units contributes to the
development of communicative competence, which comprises both linguistic and sociolinguistic
aspects of language use. By integrating phraseological units into their speech, learners can better
understand and convey the intended meaning of a message, as well as adapt their language.
In conclusion, the EFL learner must study the phraseology — phraseological units, their origin,
characteristics and usage, cultural specifics, etc. — in order to speak fluently and accurately as well
as understand thoroughly as a native speaker for it helps the EFL students to make a complex speech
and feel confident.

STYLISTIC DEVICES AND THEIR TYPES
Dilnaza Jaylibayeva
Nukus State Pedagogical Institute, student

In spite of considering that style is a property of discourse as a global configuration, this
analysis requires to take into consideration the linguistic means traditionally studied as expressive
means, stylistic means, stylistic markers, stylistic devices, figures of speech and so on. All these terms
have traditionally been classified into two types in the study of rhetoric (the word rhetoric is still
sometimes used to describe what we have up to now been calling style) – tropes and figures.
In general, trope is a device that involves meaning, and a figure that involves expression, but
the terms are not always clearly distinguished. Besides, the consideration of these terms as stylistic
devices and expressive means seems to be very comfortable. In order to better understand their sense
we shall specify some moments that concern these notions. It is common knowledge that linguists
perceive the nature of a stylistic device in different ways. Some of them consider that it belongs to
language [1] and others – to speech. The difference of opinions is quite normal from our point of view
as the stylistic device is, on the one hand, a realized possibility of the effective use of language, a
speech phenomenon and on the other hand it is a model materialized in utterances, a phenomenon of
language. This is why the stylistic device occupies an intermediate position between language and
speech. To be more precise, it is possible to say that it belongs to the level of norm, the socio-cultural
forms of the speech activity, which tends to acquire necessary communicative effect.
