English Abstract

Learning English as a foreign language does not refer to the mastery of the rules or merely the grammar of English.

Rather, it refers to the full understanding of the semantic ( and syntactic ) concepts of that language, and employing this in real life situations.

In this sense, the current research represents an attempt at investigating the Iraqi EFL Learners' recognition and production of selected English proverbs.

The study is divided into five sections ( an introduction, three sections and a conclusion ).

Evidence shows that English proverbs represent a very important component in learning English as a foreign language, and that Iraqi EFL learners face considerable difficulties in understanding and employing them in real life situations.
