description The study of second-language (L2) idiom acquisition has held a significant place in both Second Language Acquisition (SLA) and foreign language education. While there is a wealth of research on L2 idiom learning, few studies published in English focus on the acquisition of L2 Korean idioms. This research seeks to fill this gap by reviewing and analyzing prior work on L2 Korean idioms. It offers a classification and categorization of Korean idioms, shedding light on the varying degrees of comprehension/acquisition difficulty for L2 learners. The study further delves into the pedagogical implications of teaching L2 Korean idioms including the efficacy of explicit instruction, the benefits of using authentic materials, the role of context in teaching idiomatic expressions, and suggested procedures.
