In my opinion, If you study Linguistics, you can understand and teach students in needs. Each student has different difficulties in learning English depending on their first language. For example, pronunciation, grammar, etc. :-) |

When you look at the origin of an idiomatic expression (etymology - part of some courses of linguistics), this can help the student remember it. |
