Bi/multilingual students might recognise similarities and differences between languages, which might aid understanding of idioms. Might prompt discussion on origin of idioms, and comparison between languages. In case of linguistic gaps (eg. bon appetit in English) - these are illustrative of personality/culture in a way. What do these linguistic gaps say about who we are?

This activity might lend itself more to a "getting to know you" activity or as a noticing activity as idioms come up. There would need to be much thought given as to how to embed it in an AoA task, where the learner can exert agency.

Taking idioms from other cultural contexts into account - discuss the origins and developments. Are they still considered "politically correct"? Why or why not? Could/should they be replaced by a new expression?

More advanced students could be asked to create videos for teaching about idioms for some specific contexts (e.g. students of chemistry).
