| Abstract | As evidenced by the increasing awareness of metaphorical thought (and other nonlinear and aesthetic thinking structures) in literature on the development of composing and comprehending skills, teaching metaphor as a mode of thinking is an important function of schooling, especially in the English classroom. It is important that the classroom emphasis be on metaphor as heuristic rather than as rhetoric, and it is also important for teachers to be aware of the theoretical foundations of using metaphorical verbal thought structures for both language skill development and verbal thought development in adolescents and young adults. Theorists have found that metaphoric language development is a creative act of representation, yet metaphoric thinking is to some extent contingent on instruction. In the English classroom, metaphorical exercises can help students not only make metaphors but think metaphorically. Metaphorical thinking exercises are relevant in content area classes as well, for example in scientific and technical writing, and in historical work. It is useful in all disciplines to be aware of the poetic functions of writing (in addition to transactional writing), and teachers can make students who engage in nonliterary discourse aware when they are using metaphoric language that shapes their world views. A final area where students need to be aware of metaphorical language is in the revision process, especially when a process model of writing is used. (References are appended.) (SKC) |
