초록

This study aims to examine Korean English learners’ competency of English emotion metaphors in given contexts and compare their metaphor competency with that of native speakers. Furthermore, it looks into the participants’ English vocabulary learning strategies that might affect their metaphor acquisition. 84 Korean college students and 24 English native speakers participated in this research. The questionnaire contains a metaphor assessment and their English learning strategy assessment. The results reveal most Korean English learners struggle to understand the English metaphors that especially underwent severe semantic changes from their original literal meanings. Also, their current English vocabulary learning strategy seems to have little effect on their English metaphor acquisition. These results imply that the theory of conceptual metaphor as well as analogical reasoning process training can be helpful for the struggling English metaphor learners with a thirst for theoretical approaches and novel pedagogical assistance.

Abstract

This study aims to examine Korean English learners’ competency of English emotion metaphors in given contexts and compare their metaphor competency with that of native speakers. Furthermore, it looks into the participants’ English vocabulary learning strategies that might affect their metaphor acquisition. 84 Korean college students and 24 English native speakers participated in this research. The questionnaire contains a metaphor assessment and their English learning strategy assessment. The results reveal most Korean English learners struggle to understand the English metaphors that especially underwent severe semantic changes from their original literal meanings. Also, their current English vocabulary learning strategy seems to have little effect on their English metaphor acquisition. These results imply that the theory of conceptual metaphor as well as analogical reasoning process training can be helpful for the struggling English metaphor learners with a thirst for theoretical approaches and novel pedagogical assistance.
