Abstract
<jats:p>The study examines visualization as a contemporary methodological approach to teaching English phraseology within philological education. Phraseological units are viewed as linguistically fixed yet cognitively motivated structures that encode culturally specific conceptualizations and function within discourse contexts. Theoretical analysis highlights the role of visualization in representing mental structures and deepening the understanding of idiomatic meanings. A pedagogical experiment with control and experimental groups demonstrated that visualized tasks—such as illustrative images, conceptual maps, and multimodal models—improve the accuracy of interpreting phraseological units, their discursive appropriateness, and overall phraseological competence, confirming the effectiveness of visualization as a tool for developing cognitive-discursive skills in English phraseology acquisition.</jats:p>
