Abstract:

This book promotes greater interest in cognitive linguistics (CL)
among English language teaching (ELT) practitioners, while offering
researchers a more direct line toward shaping pedagogy. The book
presents a collection of CL-informed ready-to-use pedagogical
summaries and activities that teachers without background knowledge in
CL can take directly to their classrooms. Importantly, the book
targets traditionally challenging areas of English instruction by
focusing on vocabulary, grammar, and aspects of discourse and
pragmatics.
Each chapter tackles a different topic of the English language and
includes the following sections: 1) introduction of the challenge(s)
with the said English language topic, 2) explanation of the CL
approach and how it can mitigate the observed challenge(s), 3)
practically-oriented description of the CL-inspired teaching
activities, positioned within a specific pedagogical context but
easily transferable to other contexts. All chapters include insights
that are highly practical and easily implemented in different contexts
of ELT. The ultimate goal of the volume is to motivate teachers to try
new pedagogical tools and to influence English language pedagogy
through the research-documented powers of applied cognitive
linguistics.
