This study investigates the impact of integrating proverbs into language teaching and cultural transmission. Using a mixed-methods approach, data were collected through surveys, interviews, and classroom observations to measure improvements in language proficiency, critical thinking, and intercultural competence among students. The findings reveal that proverbs significantly enhance language learning by improving vocabulary acquisition, syntactic knowledge, and idiomatic usage, while also fostering higher-order cognitive skills and cultural awareness. The study highlights the need for further research to explore the long-term and causal effects of proverbs in diverse educational contexts and provides practical recommendations for educators and institutions to incorporate proverbs into their teaching practices effectively.
