摘要
English poetry is beautiful in form and rich in meaning,whereas the teaching of English poetry is as difficult as poetry creation,which calls for not only enthusiasm and inspiration, but also attractive teaching method and supportive theoretical framework. With the framework of cognitive theory, this paper illustrates the teaching practice of one of Robert Frost’s poems,in the course of which the cognitive pattern is embedded,and tries to explore the cognition-based teaching of English poetry such as the analysis of metaphor by the use of space mapping theory. It begins with the analysis of the poetic structure,which is ensued by students’ active construction of the poem’s meaning based on cognitive interpretation. Finally,students are cultivated to express their own opinions while thinking critically about the poem so as to improve their independent learning ability.
