1. 英语谚语能帮助学生操练重要句型
在句型教学过程中，教师使用英语谚语作例句，不失为一种激发学生学习兴趣，提高教学效率的好方法。
例如，讲解句型“祈使句+and+陈述句”时可引入:Speak of angels, and you will hear their wings. (说曹操曹操就到。) 讲解句型“too…to…”时可引入One is never too old to learn. (活到老，学到老。)
可见，运用含有所学句型的英语谚语作例句，比普通的例句更具有趣味性、典型性和说服力，学生也就容易理解和掌握所学重要句型。
2. 英语谚语可用来巩固语法知识
教师可以结合与教材相关的语法知识，每天精选几句谚语提供给学生，帮助学生巩固已学的语言知识。例如，在复习动词的———ing形式作定语修饰名词且与主语有逻辑关系时，可提供以下谚语帮助学生巩固这一知识点。
Barking dogs seldom bite.吠犬不咬人。
Let sleeping dogs lie.别弄醒睡着的狗。(意为别惹是生非。)
A rolling stone gathers no moss.滚石不生苔。(意为转业不聚财。)
英语谚语中以no, none或nothing否定词起首的，有时是两个结构平行对仗，句式匀称。含有两个no结构的谚语，由于no的重复，语义很强，意为“没有……就没有，不……就不”。None和nothing表示完全否定，斩钉截铁，非此即彼，无余地。如：
No pains, no gains.不劳无获。
Nothing is to be done without reason.人无理性, 一事无成。
None knows the weight of another’s burden.看人挑担不吃力。
3. 英语谚语可以帮助学生了解西方文化，增强阅读能力
谚语较一般语言知识在文化差异意识培养方面具有优越性。宗教作为谚语产生的一个来源，它必然包含了很多宗教思想和宗教教义。可以认为，认识谚语就认识了某种宗教的一小部分内容，也就部分地认识了目的语国家。例如，Too much curiosity lost Paradise/Forbidden fruit is the sweetest皆源于《圣经》中亚当和夏娃的故事，两人由于好奇心太重，偷吃禁果，结果被逐出伊甸园。通过学习大量谚语，可以促进学生对于西方文化的了解和吸收，逐步提高英语语言素养和阅读理解的能力，减少或消除由于文化差异所引起的交际障碍，为进一步学习和使用英语打下良好的基础。
4. 利用谚语可帮助学生学习修辞法
不少谚语在修辞学上会使用对照拟人夸张比喻等。形式多样，生动活泼。
对照。如：A idle youth, a needy age. (少壮不努力，老大徒伤悲。)
拟人。如：Walls have ears. (隔墙有耳.)
夸张。如：Money can make the mare go. (有钱能使鬼推磨.)
明喻。如：There is no friend so faithful as a good book. (书是最忠实的朋友。)
暗喻。如：A good tongue is a good weapon. (伶牙利齿就是锐利武器。)
重复。如：All is well that ends well. (结局好一切都好。)
押韵。如:An apple a day keeps the doctor away. (一天一苹果，医生不找你。)
5. 在教学中利用英语谚语引导学生树立正确人生观
教育的最终目标是使学生既成才又成人，我们在努力提高学生学业水平的同时，要时时处处注重对学生品德的培养、人格的塑造，使他们成为社会的有用人才。很多英语谚语可以引申出更深刻、更普遍的生活道理和人生哲理。它教人守德、惜时、为善和求真;劝人淡泊名利、志存高远和勇于进取，具有深刻的教育意义。例如：
Nothing is difficult to the man who will try. (世上无难事，只怕有心人。)
