AB - The purpose of this study is to present teaching methods for foreign students in the writing class of general education course. This paper presents some conceptual metaphors and their linguistic expressions which help foreign students to write academic essays. And it suggests the methods for teaching writing based on the conceptual metaphor. The conceptual metaphor reflects the cognitive ways of Korean language users. Therefore students can criticise conceptual metaphors and the related way of thinking. Students can also discuss how the texts or theories are structured by conceptual metaphors before writing their essays.
This study analysed foreign students' essays written in the experimental instruction. The findings show that foreign students could learn conceptual metaphor expressions and write them on their essays. But it is suggested that instructors should identify the fixed forms of the expressions and emphasize them in the class. The students wrote essays after reading and discussing some texts and theories based on the conceptual metaphor, but we need to conduct experiments more accurately and analyze the effectiveness of the teaching methods.
