This article analyzes the linguodidactic foundations of teaching English through proverbs, using the example
of Dari-speaking schools in Afghanistan. The study highlights the didactic potential of proverbs in the language learning
process, their cultural and moral content, and their role in developing students’ communicative competence. It also
examines how the use of proverbs contributes to vocabulary expansion, understanding of phraseological units, and
the development of intercultural communication. The findings demonstrate the effectiveness of integrating national
and cultural components into English language teaching and provide a methodological basis for applying innovative
pedagogical approaches in a Dari-speaking educational environment
