英语教学中的隐喻思维培养——以全国自学考试高级英语为例

Cultivation of Metaphoric Thinking in English Teaching——Advanced English in Self-taught Education

隐喻无处不在,隐喻思维不可避免。语言的隐喻特征往往体现在词、句、甚至整个语篇上。外语教学中,隐喻思维帮助学习者从本质上理解、记忆目标语言;帮助学习者学习相关文化与思想意识,并实现对该语言的灵活交际与创造性运用。以全国自学考试高级英语课程教学为例,从词、句、语篇的角度探索隐喻思维的培养,力图突破英语教学瓶颈,帮助学生学好英语。

Metaphor exists everywhere,metaphorical thinking appears inevitably.The metaphorical features of a language appear in words,sentences,even the whole discourse.During foreign language teaching,metaphor thinking essentially helps learners understand and remember target language,learn its culture and ideology,flexibly communicate and creatively use the language.Taking the advanced English teaching in self-taught education as an example,this paper explores the cultivation of metaphorical thinking from the perspectives of word,sentence,and text to break through the bottleneck of English teaching,and help students learn it better.
