- Teachers should also make use of image schemas to teach prepositions
in terms of conceptual metaphors, but this requires the teachers to apply
domain mapping theory help learners to make
transfer of prepositions
from the spatial domain to the abstract domain.
- As many pedagogical modifications of cognitive linguistics in the recent
studies as well as this study suggest the employment of teacher
instruction to provide linguistic input, teachers should apply speaking and
writing tasks so that learners have opportunities to use language after the
instruction of prepositions.
- However, due to some negative feedback from
the participants in the
treatment, teachers should employ games, music and sense of humour in
teaching based on cognitive linguistic concepts to engage learners both
cognitively and affectively in the class activities.
For learners:
Knowledge of language may be essential in contexts where English is
used as a foreign language. Learners apply meaningful learning by using image
schemas to make general sense of some meaning of a preposition. In particular,
- Relating the prior knowledge and new knowledge proved significant.
Concerning
the semantics of prepositions, learners should relate the
metaphorical meanings to the spatial meanings to consolidate their
language knowledge and language use.
-
In foreign language learning, both auditory and visual sources of
information are crucial. Combining both sources can foster the learning
process and outcomes.

- Being attentive to the teacher instruction is essential in contexts where
English
is used as a foreign language, but it is not sufficient. Students
learning English as a foreign language should also get exposed to
language use. Speaking and writing tasks offered
by the teacher in the
classroom may do some help.
