This project was carried out during the second semester of 2009.  \nI, as English teacher, have been concerned about the way English is taught at USTA (Universidad Santo Tomás) into the process of learning idioms. It is very interesting to university students to be enrolled in the procedure of learning specific idioms because of this way they can performance several activities through the use of idioms.  \nAccording to the researcher of this project, the integration of idioms has a very important attention in the teaching and learning process of English, especially as a form to implement effective techniques to incorporate idioms in the classroom.
