Abstract

Throughout this research, we will focus on the use of Instagram as a tool for learning specific phraseological units employing visual resources. The main objective is to discover -as well as delve into- the potentialities of this social network concerning its use for a completely online learning practice of false friends, phrasal verbs, and idioms. To achieve this objective, we conduct a single-group and mixed-method research.
