In recent years, more and more domestic scholars begin to think about the situation of China and explore the grammar teaching method.

A comparative analysis of metaphors in English and Chinese will make Chinese learners aware of the linguistic and conceptual differences and similarities. In explicit classroom teaching, the process of vocabulary instruction, context analysis, culture teaching, speaking and writing practising is interactive with the cultivation of metaphoric competence.展开更多
