Making Progress Simpler? : Applying Cognitive Grammar to Tense-Aspect Teaching Hardback
by Monika Reif
Part of the DASK - Duisburger Arbeiten zur Sprach- und Kulturwissenschaft / Duisburg Papers on Research in Langu series
Hardback
Description
This study presents a new approach to tense-aspect teaching from the perspective of Cognitive Linguistics.
Its aims are twofold: first, to provide a coherent account of the English tense-aspect system.
To this end, a synthesis of Langacker’s Cognitive Grammar theory and Fauconnier’s Mental Space approach will be put forward.
Second, to test the applicability and effectiveness of CL-informed learning materials in the language classroom.
For that purpose, an empirical analysis was conducted involving German students of English at an upper-intermediate level.
The study therefore addresses linguists and language teachers alike.
