Literature, Metaphor and the Foreign Language Learner

'... Picken's work is an important contribution to the field in its own right, and it also opens up a new and potentially productive research agenda.' - Jeanette Littlemore, Metaphor and Symbol

Literature, Metaphor and the Foreign Language Learner

von Jonathan Picken

Theory in reader-response and stylistics traditions supports L2 work with literature as it is valued by students and helps develop communicative and critical language skills. The author uses insights from empirical research to evaluate current teaching practices against this background, highlighting readers' responses to metaphor as a test case.
