Abstract:

Meanings and Metaphors contains a lively collection of vocabulary
activities which will open up the world of figurative language to
students of intermediate level and above. The activities provide ample
opportunities for cross-cultural comparisons and creative language
use.Each of the 34 photocopiable units has a clear step-by-step lesson
plan for the busy teacher with a useful background information section
for extra support. Many of the units also have extension and revision
tasks for further practice.All the words and expressions practised
have been checked against the Cambridge International Corpus to ensure
that they are up-to-date and useful to the students. The material
includes advertisements, newspapers, sayings, poems, fables, analogies
and rhetoric.Meanings and Metaphors can be used to supplement most
course books and is suitable for a wide range of teaching
environments.
