Abstract

This article examines the pedagogical potential of anthropocentric proverbs as effective tools in foreign language instruction. Anthropocentric proverbs–those centered on human experience, behavior, and wisdom–offer unique opportunities for developing linguistic competence, cultural awareness, and cognitive engagement among language learners. Through an analysis of pedagogical approaches, cross-linguistic examples, and theoretical frameworks, this study demonstrates how proverbs can enhance vocabulary acquisition, grammatical understanding, and intercultural communicative competence. The article proposes practical classroom applications and discusses the cognitive and cultural benefits of integrating proverbial wisdom into language curricula.
