This study examines the influence of phraseological units on the enhancement of communicative fluency in senior university students learning English as a foreign language. The research, conducted at Nakhchivan State University, featured 30 final-year students participating in a six-to-eight-week educational program centered on idioms, phrasal verbs, collocations, and fixed expressions. Data were gathered by pre- and post-assessments, oral interviews, written assignments, and observational checklists. The findings indicated a notable enhancement in phraseological competence and communicative fluency, as students exhibited increased lexical diversity, speaking fluency, and stylistic refinement in writing. The research suggests that focused phraseological education improves learners' capacity for natural and effective communication, providing practical implications for curriculum development and teaching methods.
