This article explores the crucial role of formulaic language, specifically collocations and idioms, in developing English as a Second Language (ESL) learners’ communicative competence, fluency, and naturalness. Adopting the structural framework of the Lexical Approach, the study investigates the linguistic nature of multi-word expressions and analyzes their integration into modern classroom environments.
