After talking with my small group, here is what I am thinking about my inquiry now...students are seeing the importance of idioms and how to use them and now I need to push further and see when and how they're using them. Students are recognizing idioms on tv and in books but I'm still not able to gauge how often they are using them and that's where I'm headed.
In researching idioms in the library I also saw the demand of learning about idioms within the adult ESL community.
One thing I am wondering now is how can I still reach out to the studetns who are not interested/still not understanding idioms. Should I give them more time to talk in order to see if that helps them scaffold each other's language usage etc?
